Can you propagate plants in the fall?
Thanks for your help. Answer: Autumn is a good time to take cuttings of outdoor potted, tender, tropical plants such as coleus and Pelargoniums (tender, tropical geraniums). Using a clean, sharp knife, cut 3- to 5-inch lengths from your “mother” coleus and geranium plants. Remove about half of the leaves.

Can I take hydrangea cuttings in October?

Where do you store winter cuttings?
Once rooted, the young plants will need a little more water. Move them to a sunnier windowsill, especially during the winter when light levels fall, and keep them at cool room temperature – 15½°C (60°F) is ideal. Don't pot them up until next spring – around April – when they start making new growth.
How do you store winter cuttings?
Storage of cuttings
Store cuttings in a cool, dark, and moist place. Do NOT store in a wet area as this will promote root growth and weaken the cutting. Soak the bottom 1/3 of cutting in water for 1-5 days prior to planting.
