Detailed explanation-3: -Leaf Petiole Break off a robust leaf, trim the petiole so it is no more than an inch long, apply rooting hormone, and sink the petiole into the rooting mix. The base of the leaf blade should just touch the mix (Figure 12). Place the pot in a plastic bag in a bright spot.

Detailed explanation-4: -Root Cutting Examples of plants that can be propagated from root cuttings include raspberry, blackberry, rose, trumpet vine, phlox, crabapple, fig, lilac, and sumac. Plants with large roots are normally propagated outdoors. The root cuttings should be 2 to 6 inches long.
