Growing Chrysanthemum or Mum's from Cuttings:
        Cuttings are how to start mums for quick blooming plants. Cuttings produce the fastest mum plants, which will bloom within months. Spring or summer is the best time to take cuttings for mum propagation. Use a sharp sterile knife or cutter to remove a 2- to 3-inch section of new growth at the end of a stem.Deep in to the rooting powder and pull off the leaves on the bottom 1 inch of the cutting and insert it into sand or peat moss. The cutting must always be moist but not soggy. It will root within a couple of weeks and then you should pinch off the top growth to encourage the new plant to form lateral growth. Propagating mums is a task that you can enjoy as a home gardener. The variety of means for reproduction means you just have to decide how to start mums. Chrysanthemums make excellent potted plants for special occasion gifts or as perennials in the garden bed. You can bring them indoors or out for early spring or late fall color.
