The rooting of cuttings as a way to propagate woody plants has proven to be successful, although little is known about the physiology of the process. Variations from crop to crop currently limit its large-scale use in many species. Factors such as cuttings size, timing, handling, propagation facilities, rooting media, rooting hormones, light, CO2 enrichment, temperature, water relations, and fungicide use all play a role in the process. Suggestions of future areas of potential benefit and a checklist of factors important in rooting are provided.
