    hello,

    I have some Chrysanthemum small plants...
    and I am asking how may I propagate them?
    can I by stem-cuttings?
    and should I use a rooting hormone?
    and when is the right time to do this?
    May I do this now?

    thanks in advance

    You will need to snip off the flowers. The flowers of a plant are their way of reproducing through seeds that will eventually form. The plant will use it's energy to produce those seeds. You will want the plant to use it's energy to make roots. Another reason not to transplant when a plant is in bloom.
