: I have a healthy abutilon Thompsonii in a large pot. I regularly cut it back and I was wondering if it can be successfully propagated by cuttings. So many people have admired it and asked if I could start one for them. If so, how should I do it?

Hi Barbara,

I don't see why it couldn't. Just dip the ends of the stems in some rooting hormone and put in moist perlite. I would use semi hardwood cuttings.

Good luck,
