Growing a new plant from a cutting?

[PrairieChilihead]

Has anyone ever been successful at propagating a pepper plant by taking a cutting and using rooting compound...or some other method, other than planting seeds? If so, did the plant actually produce any fruit?

I grow cuttings sometimes. I used a bubbler unit. Do a search on this forum for it and you'll find several posts on the topic. Works well.

I take cuttings, usually as back-up for my special hybrid plants which cannot be easily reproduced by seed. As cmpman said, do a search for cuttings or clones

Been using a propagation kit with concentrated plant nutrients and Clonex Rooting Gel..worked fantastic so far buddy

I reproduce mostly by cuttings in hydro. The cuttings produce fruit.

Fatalli uses cuttings, too: http://www.fatalii.net/growing/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=32

Thanks everyone. This is very interesting. It seems easier than growing from seeds. As well, with seeds you are never really sure if the seed you are working with is a pure example of the plant you want, or a hybrid. A cutting will always be a perfect clone of the plant. Is that not correct? I'm definitely going to look closer into this.
