i love the existance of cuttings! Soooooooo many of my plants are from cuttings At the greenhouse that i work at, if i see a big plant that i like, all i gotta do is ask, and they'll normally give me a cutting or two ^.^ Its so cool!

This one time, my boss actually called my cell phone while i was off duty, and he goes "Hey Phoebe, we got this new kinda jade here, and it looked like something you'd want." and yep You can propagate plants from cuttings in two was from what i've gathered. Leaf, and stem. Leaves normally don't have to be planted, or put in water. You can let em sit on the top of the soil most of the time. Stems can do that too, but you can also put stems in water, or stick em in the soil. Just make sure ya got a node *part where the leaves or other branches shoot out of*

Taking cuttings is so fun! It's a great way to expand your plant collection--for free!

I've tried many of my plants. Once I took an Africa Violet leaf, stuck it in soil, and tons of new plants came up.

Once a friend gave me a 6 in. long Wandering Jew vine. I put it in water, waited, and now I've a bowl spilling with vines.

It's that easy! Well, have fun growing cuttings. It's a very rewarding experience.
