    Rooting chilli cuttings?

    Hi all,

    In repotting an overwintered chilli, I've broken off a nice sized branch. It's growing leaves and flowers, so I wondered if I can get it to root?

    If so, what's the best way? Stick it in water like a tomato, or treat it like a lavender cutting and pot up in gritty compost with(out) a bit of rooting hormone?

    Cheers,

    Stick it in water, just like a tomato. Would get rid of the flowers though (more energy into rooting)

          This is why I thought some rooting hormone might help. I've got some, although I've never used it on anything before.

            I've seen a few videos on YouTube seems like it's mixed results I'm sure it is possible but only on certain varieties! Still no harm in trying
            In the following link you can follow my recent progress on the plot
