When your plants are 3-5cm long, they’re strong enough to support a plant. The process of getting them ready for the real world is called “hardening”. Hardening starts about 2 weeks before planting out cuttings, and reduces the risk of plants dying by acclimating them from a high humidity and high moisture environment into the real world.
Propagation is the broad term used to describe breeding plants in general. There are two main forms of propagation: sexual and asexual. Asexual propagation works quite differently to sexual propagation. By cutting part of an existing plant and putting it in the right conditions, you can create an exact genetic replica of that original plant.
