Rooting chilli cuttings?

[mrbadexample]

Hi all,

In repotting an overwintered chilli, I've broken off a nice sized branch. It's growing leaves and flowers, so I wondered if I can get it to root?

If so, what's the best way? Stick it in water like a tomato, or treat it like a lavender cutting and pot up in gritty compost with(out) a bit of rooting hormone?

Cheers,

Stick it in water, just like a tomato. Would get rid of the flowers though (more energy into rooting)

I had never thought of trying this!

Do let us know how you get on MBE. : )

This is why I thought some rooting hormone might help. I've got some, although I've never used it on anything before.

I've seen a few videos on YouTube seems like it's mixed results I'm sure it is possible but only on certain varieties! Still no harm in trying
