Cuttings can be propagated any time of year with the following process:

How to root:
~ Re-cut stem ends and dip in rooting powder. Rooting powder is optional but increases chances of rooting
~ Insert cut ends into moistened sand or potting soil
~ Keep the sand or potting soil moist but not sopping wet until they root.
~ A clear plastic 'tent' held up with sticks over the cuttings can help retain moisture but is not necessary.
~ They can take 1-2 months to root.
