Common Propagation Problems

1. Choosing the Wrong Type of Cuttings: Use softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings, which are young and flexible. Avoid hardwood cuttings as they are harder to root.
2. Using Unclean or Dull Tools: Always use clean and sharp pruning shears to take cuttings. Sterilize tools to prevent the spread of diseases.
3. Exposing the Cuttings to Direct Sunlight: Place cuttings in a warm, well-lit area with indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can dry out or scorch the cuttings.
