Grow your Own: Chilli Plant Cuttings

snip the stem diagonally just below a leaf joint thingy, then remove the leaf/leaves at the bottom, then dip in rooting hormone and stick it in either damp seed compost or a coir jiffy pellet. Then I pop them in a propagator out of direct sunlight until the roots have started growing nicely




Just thinking about upping the plant count this year by taking cuttings from my overwintered plants, now I assume you do this the normal way by cutting off a long stem, taking off all the lower leaves then dipping the cut end into some rooting compound then into a pot full of lovely fresh compost.
