Some one gave me cuttings from their plant and I don’t know whether to put it directly into soil or root it in water first. Pleas help…thank you. They were pulled off from the ends of the plants.

The concept is simple – but not predictable.
Neither me nor my friend has ever had luck with rooting a cutting or 6 or 8 or???? Cut, hormone, medium, mist, cover and that is supposed to work.
Can anyone give instructions and why? I need to better understand this method after surfing thousands of sites and info saying the same thing and still no luck……..How do you do it? and can I get roots on cuttings in water? if it’s a shrub? or plant?
I am trying the cuttings in water that are soft stemmed – including new clematis growth.
But as for the shrub cuttings, should I root in soil (prepared) and let em be for a while?

The cuttings from a larger plant already have small roots. They were given to me rooting in water.

1) where do I cut on the plant – do I cut multiple places
2) I think I put them in some water to get their roots started — right? for how long?
3) do I then just put the cuttings (with their new roots) into another planter with soil/fertilizer/water?
THANK you!
Ken Chiarella…instantly.
