I saw on some garden show where a nursery guy took some moss and wrapped it around a stem (I think after scraping it a bit), moistened it, then wrapped it with some plastic wrap, and after some time it send out some roots so you could snip it off then plant it. That might only work for certain plants though, I would try the rooting powder thing, You can buy that at a garden shop, it is some kind of plant hormone that encourages the growth.

google "rooting powder lavender" for lots of info

Is there only one type of rooting powder?

I wonder why soaking alone doesn't do the trick.  What did people do before
the invention of rooting powder?

You'll likely have a greater success rate if you rubber band a baggie
over the the top of the pot also, to retain the humidity.

Andrew,

I called a local nursery and talked to the owner, who has a radio show
here on Sat morn.
He agrees with Rich.
Small 2-4 inch tender shoot dip in Rooting Powder plant in Sterile
Potting Soil. Keep Moist NOT Soaking wet.
Should see roots in 3 to 4 weeks. Keep soil above 72? .

Cut off a shoot and put some rooting powder on the end, stick it in
some moist potting soil and it should take.

We have two splendid mature French lavender bushes I'd love to
propagate.  I
tried layering (burying branches) and immersion of new shoots in a
vase but
no roots sprouted.  Anyone BTDT?
