Rooting Vinca Minor, Vinca Major, and Pachysandra

I am wondering how best to root these ground covers. I have a small fortune invested in them, and I would like to begin propogating my own to avoid further expense.

First. I would like to know the best way of cutting them.

Second, Would it be a good idea to use Root Tone?

Third, Is it ok to just stick them in the ground, or should I start them in cell trays.

Thanks for your generous help.

The vinca's root very easily and the vinca magor can take over a large area very fast. In fact it is downright invasive here.

Just poke it in the dirt and water it!
