Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities.
How to Take a Eucalyptus Cutting. Juvenile eucalyptus trees root better than adult trees. Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.), are ornamental trees, that often grow to heights of 80 to 120 feet. Native to Australia, eucalyptus grow in the warmer climates of U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 6 through 11, depending upon the species. They're easy to propagate from seed, but you can also clone them through rooted cuttings taken from juvenile trees.
How to grow a cutting. Plants are grown from ripe wood that has hardened off after the spring or summer growth spurt. This type of cutting is called semi-hardwood. Plants can also be grown from new growth (soft tip cuttings) or from old wood (hardwood cuttings). To be sure of success start with a healthy piece of plant and use clean, sterile materials from secateurs to pot and propagating mix.
