It only takes about 6 weeks to root a cutting which can then planted out or potted to become a full size plant in only a matter of a couple of months. Mid summer is the ideal time to use new growth, also known as softwood or green wood as it’s beginning to harden off. This makes it easier to handle without braking and it doesn’t dry out as quickly.
