N2 - Methods for improved vegetative propagation of Protea obtusifolia were examined. Different hormone treatments, seasons, mother plant treatments, and cuttings in different physiological age were tested. The results showed that the use of semi hardwood cuttings and treating them with IBA 2000 ppm gave the highest rooting percentage. Growing mother plants under 30-50% shading net improved rooting percentage. Rooting of cuttings was improved greatly by repeated rooting for 3 generations. Cuttings taken from the last generation of plants rooted at 75% compared to 37% when cuttings were taken from matured field grown plants. Using these methods, we got high rooting percentage of 75% in a period of 10 weeks.
