Question
I Live in S. Fla and wnat to root my own how do i start


Answer
Hi Peter,
Thanx for your question.  The easiest way is to locate a plant where the owner will let you start a plant via layering.  The way you layer a shrub or vine is to take a section of the branch that is close to the ground, gently scrape away a bit of the bark and dust the wounded area with a rooting hormone which you can find at a good nursery.   Bury the scraped area under 3 or 4 inches of bark.  Next, place a rock on top to keep the branch from slipping out of the soil.  You should have a rooted lay in about 8 weeks.  Dig it up and cut it off of the mother plant and plant it in the desired location.  Another way is to make 6 inch cuttings from new wood (greener and less brown) dip the cut ends into rooting hormone and bury 1-2 inches deep in warm, moist, sand.  Keep the medium moist and warm and rooting should take place in about 8 weeks.  When rooting indoors, the plants will have to be acclimated when you take them outdoors.  That means pot them up in separate pots and then place them in a place that is free of direct sunlight, rain, wind and other weather extremes for 10 days.  After that, plant the cuttings in direct sunlight.  I hope this helps.
