How to propagate Plumbago from a cutting

How to Propagate Plumbago from cutting Plumbago can be rooted from stem or root cuttings.
Unless you will be rooting them indoors, make the cuttings in fall or spring so the rootings benefit from mild temperatures while they become established.
+++ Stem Cuttings +++
Cuttings should be 3 to 4 inches long, taken just below a leaf node, recommends Andromeda Botanic Gardens. Strip the leaves from the bottom half of the plumbago cutting. Dip the stripped half in water, then in rooting hormone, if available.
Use a pencil to make a depression in the soil where you will plant your cutting. Place the cutting and firm the soil around it.
+++ Root Cuttings +++
The University of Florida recommends root cuttings for propagating plumbago. Take cuttings from the mature root (1/4- to 1/2-inch diameter) of a two- to three-year-old plumbago in late winter or early spring, says the University of Florida IFAS Extension. Bury 2- to 6-inch-long cuttings horizontally under 1/2 inch of rooting medium.
