I took a kinda rough method to my cuttings... I don't have a lot of space for new plants, and I have five two-year brugs that all bloomed this past summer. So when I brought them indoors at first frost, I used a serrated knife to hack off everything above the Y. I ended up with about 15 stems, each about an inch thick. I put them in a bucket of water and left them in my cool basement; within a month they formed 'nubblies and now they are growing roots, despite the pale light from a north-facing basement window. Some are even growing weak leaves.

If the roots get longer than an inch, I think I'm going to have to pot them up in a soilless ProMix to develop roots.
