Do it right, do it once.
My grandparents were always keen gardeners. In those days, a plant could be propagated by taking a "slip" - what we call a cutting, these days. One day, when I was about 16, (pre contraception pills) my grandmother said to me "Remember Sonny, babies grow from slips, not seeds". I never looked at her nor my uncles and aunts the same way again!
