Hi!, I try to buy one of the large ornamental Chrysanthemum x morifolium each year. I take the plant home cut off the flower and cut the stems up into 6" or 8" pieces. I remove the bottom foliage and insert the cuttings in moist soil, cover the cuttings with a plastic bag and within three to six weeks roots have formed. I pot the cuttings up and usually lose a few over the winter but many survive for the next year. They are simple to root. The larger the stem the larger the flower.
