Re: Lantana

Deborah,
Lantana is easy to start by rooting cuttings. Take new shoots and remove the
soft stem end and immature leaves leaving 4 leaves or so. Dip the basal end
in rooting hormone following instructions. Root in perlite under mist, or
cover with a clear plastic bag. Place in light, but not direct sunlight. In
a month, you should have roots. Lantana is very easy to root.
