| Just prune it, if you want multiple plants and place cuttings in the soil. It will root 'real fast'. |

| Cinnamon doesn't stimulate the actual rooting of a cutting. It prevents fungal infections and slows the decaying process while the cutting tries to root. |

| You could put some rooting hormone on it, and then put it in a pot of soil. This actually is a tree, and may not root in water. |

| Hi Gina, welcome to Gardenweb! I'd vote for putting it in a pot of soil. |

thanks i will put it in soil due to majority of votes. Thanks for the welcome purple!!
Ken its supposed to be a rooting hormone or so I heard but shear says it prevents fungus and slows the decay process giving it more time to root im guessing. I read that air propogating is the best way but I got these clippings from 'around the neighborhood' so ill opt for soil! |

| They grow pretty easily from cuttings in soil or medium. If it grows outdoors in your climate I'd just stick it into the ground. I had to do mine indoors in potting medium. But it rooted quite quickly. |

| Just passing the info along. I'd never tried it, just knew what it was "intended" to be used for in this setting. |
