How can I grow lavender from a cutting?

Well, you can do that from a stem cutting by taking a needle and just putting the tip of it in the plant, and then pulling out a stem cutting, and then you can plant it. If you want it to grow much better, you might do better to just take a cutting that’s already grown a lot and then it’ll get stronger, and then you can use it to plant more. I don’t think there’s much else I can tell you about growing lavender from cuttings that I don’t think you know already, I mean, what exactly are you looking for?

Can I do this without a needle?
user
I suppose so, I’d probably just cut the stem of the plant with my finger or something and then put the cut end of the stem in the ground.  I don’t think it will be better, since the cuts from a needle will be bigger than that, and be cleaner, so the plant will probably do better with the needle, but it can be done without.
assistant
I will try a needle then.  Thanks!
