Stem Cuttings
There are a number of common houseplants that can be easily propagated by stem cuttings. These include coleus, begonia, Christmas cactus, fuchsia, geranium, poinsettia, rubber plant, shrimp plant and wandering jew. Take cuttings from shoots that are vigorous, pest free and, ideally, not flowering.
Cuttings will typically be 4 to 6 inches long depend ing on the plant. Cut the stem just below a node with a sharp knife or razor blade. Remove leaves from the lower half of the cutting and dip the basal 1 to 1.5 inches in a rooting hormone. Rooting hormone is probably not necessary for easy-to-root plants such as coleus and fuchsia, but it will not hinder the rooting process either. Carefully stick the dipped end of the stem cutting into the rooting media. Some people like to pre-drill the hole using the eraser end of a pencil. The rooting media would then be firmed around the cutting after inserting into this preformed hole.
