Not much method to it, just do it. Greater success is realized if you shade the cuttings a bit and keep them well watered. I prefer using what is sold as one gallon container pots, but the garden or flower bed works.

Thanks Hal. I was wondering where to cut the sprig, how long should it be, how far to stick it in the soil, any pre-soaking required --- stuff like that.
