Most species will begin to produce roots in about 3 weeks, After rooting, the plant will gradually grow new leaves, at which time you can start to harden off the Devil's-backbone. Water occasionally and do not let the Devil's-backbone dry out. Step 5: Place it in a location where the cuttings can get light but no direct sunlight, as this can be too intense for cuttings. Press soil around the cutting, then repeat until all cuttings are planted and then water thoroughly. Step 4: Make a hole in the soil for each cutting, and place the cutting inside so that the soil line is at the lower leaves. Dip the bottom end of the cutting into rooting powder (if using) according to the directions. Step 3: Leave them for 1-2 days, as you need to wait for the cut wounds to dry before taking cuttings. Sterilize cutting tools between plants if you are taking multiple cuttings. Be sure to make a clean cut, and don’t crush the stem as that can leave the plant vulnerable to infection. No body wants a plant to grow long and thin from the beginning. The length of the cutting should not be too long, for once the cutting takes root, it has actually become an individual plant. Using your sterilized scissors, trim the leaves from the part of the stem that is inserted into the soil below, leaving only the stem, as the leaves rot easily when buried in the soil. Step 2: Choose healthy parts for propagation. Steps: Step 1: Prepare containers by filling them with moistened planting material leaving about half an inch of space from the top of the container.
