• You should then dip the cutting into a powder solution that contains, a hormone, sterile water and IBA.
• Allow the cutting to air dry for about 10 minutes before placing it in a moist compost in a pot.
• Place the cuttings in an area of indirect sunlight and mist them every so often with water to help increase humidity while they are growing new leaves and roots.
