Growing stevia from cuttings.

http://growingstevia.blogspot.com/2008/08/4-stevia-propagation-by-cuttings.html

I also wonder if you can’t just bend one of the branches on Mr Stevia so it’s touching the soil, bruise it, cover the injured part with soil, and it will grow a root at that point..like rosemary.

I just copied that info at the link you provided. It says put the cutting in vermiculite. When engineer cleaned out my outside storage room, there were two bags of vermiculite and he asked if I wanted to keep that. I almost had him throw it away as I couldn’t think how I would need that. I did keep it so I’ve got that.

Those directions are not clear enough for me in one respect. He assumes I know where to cut the plant - I don’t. Are we talking cut off a whole limb? I understand how to cut it but not sure I take off a whole limb.???
