Making cuttings of plant material is a convenient method or propagation of bonsai. Almost everything can be easily rooted, except pinese and some of the other conifers, which require a specific schedule for taking cuttings to be rooted.
With a clear plastic box, which is available in housewares departments, and 2 inches of moist sand in the bottom, a jar of rooting hormone containing a fungicide, and a sharp knife or scissors, you are ready to begin rooting. The box keeps to think about daily watering and misting. Please the box in strong light, but not in the sun, as the sun will cook the contents. You will know when your bonsai cuttings are rooted, since the clear box will allow you to watch the root development.
A cutting should have four to siz healthy leaves. No leaves should be on the stem inserted into the damp sand. Cuttings taken when new growth hardens, before it turns woody, root more easily.
As you become more adept, you will want to take thicker cuttings and cuttings with interesting shapes.
