Some growers prefer to harvest the shoots for cuttings, cutting them with a fragment of the stem from which they branched off. Cut off their need in cloudy weather, this time in the stem of the plant contains more moisture. Such planting root faster. Lower nodes of the cuttings should be freed from the leaves.

Cuttings treated with any biostimulant. They are soaked for 6-10 hours in a solution of "IAA" "Epin" or "Kornevina". Chemicals can be replaced willow water infusion onion skin, honey, yeast, or solution of succinic acid.

For cuttings should prepare in advance a kind of incubator. To do this, take a box or tray for seedlings, which were placed on the bottom of the drainage layer of gravel or crushed brick. It is covered with a mixture of fertile land and compost, taken in equal parts. The upper layer consists of washed river sand. Place the cuttings so that the 2 lower internodes were completely in the sand. In this substrate, they quickly take root and regrown roots will draw power from the soil.

It is necessary to organize such a watering regime, to avoid stagnation of water in the trays, but the sand was always wet. Planted cuttings cover the film by mimicking a mini-greenhouse. The light should be diffused.

When the cuttings are rooted and get stronger, they were first habituated to the natural environment, gradually opening the film, and only then they are planted in open ground at a fixed place. The first year the young plants insulated layer of soil or compost.

New plants can be obtained by layering. This is a more gentle method of reproduction. For this next to a bush dig a shallow hole. Choose a healthy young runaway and removed from his lower leaves. Then bends him to the ground and locked in the hole with metal studs. The hole is filled with a mixture of sand with humus and regular watering. Separated from the mother plant seedling better the next year.

This method of reproduction always give satisfactory results. It is suitable for clematis, climbing roses, honeysuckle, Trumpet and other ornamental shrubs.
