Just read on the Net that cuttings can be taken spring, summer, and fall and root in sand or peat/sand mix. Hope this helps.

CC, I'm fixing to (yes, that's correct) start another batch and see if I have more luck. Water doesn't work:) If I get lucky, I'll set you up in the spring.

I bet so. The ones I tried in water turned brown within a week or so. I started some with rooting compound in soil this time. So far, so good.

CC,
Rooting in sand works great with Tibouchina.
