Lavender, how do i take a cutting?

I'm totally new to gardening and have NEVER took a cutting in my life. We have a beautiful Lavender pot at our front door, but i wouldn't mind taking a cutting or two to eventually plant in pots ready for next year. the only problem is, we don't know where or how to take a cutting


Can anyone help??

Lavender, how do i take a cutting?
I'm from South of France, and usually, we don't do cuttings with lavenders, except if the plant is big enough. The best, I think, is to take a bit of the root along with their following twigs.


The most important I guess is the nature of the earth in which you "re-earth" the cutting.
Reply:You can take a cutting in September. Take a piece with hard wood, break it with a heel, dip it into hormone rooting powder and plant. It should take ok.
Reply:from the new grown if you look you will see the old grown on the stem is more woody looking the new doesn't have the bark type browned look snip there where the two growths join then with a sharp blade slice up the stem a half inch or so and then again in a criscross fashion so you end up with four stems at the bottom gently open slightly dip in water then in rooting powder then put into a bottle of water until wee whitey clear roots start to show then transfer to soil xx
Reply:My lavender has self seeded from the flowers and I have 20-30 seedlings - why not let nature take its course.





Good luck
Reply:Cut about length of your index finger, remove lower leaves about 1" + sink stem into soil (seed and cutting compost) or ordinary garden soil - do not let dry out or become waterlogged - lavender usually likes sunny position with plenty of drainage.





Put as many cutting in as you like can do all in the same post say six around the edge if you like, so long as soil is not too dry or too wet, most all will take.
Reply:to replant lavender you need the roots. when you're ready, dig down below the part of the plant you want to loosen. it can be large or small depending on the size of the plant you want to keep in the original pot. seperate that section from rest of the plant. replant. make sure the soil is pretty wet before you transfer.
