To propagate Euonymus, the most common method is taking semi-hardwood cuttings in mid-summer to early autumn: choose a healthy side shoot, cut a 4-6 inch stem just below a leaf node, remove lower leaves, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining potting mix, keeping it moist until roots develop; you can also propagate Euonymus through layering by bending a stem to the ground, pinning it down, covering with soil, and severing it from the parent plant once roots form;.
Key points about propagating Euonymus:
Cutting type: Take semi-hardwood cuttings from current season growth, which are firm at the base and soft at the top.
Cutting length: Aim for a 4-6 inch cutting.
Leaf removal: Remove lower leaves to prevent rot, leaving a few at the top for photosynthesis.
Rooting hormone: Dip the cut end of the cutting in rooting hormone to encourage root development.
Potting mix: Use a well-draining potting mix with perlite or vermiculite for good aeration.
Light conditions: Place the cutting in bright, indirect light. Watering: Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
