Rooting characteristics of various types of patchouli cuttings were determined. Stem cuttings taken from the first two nodes from the tip of the plant exhibited the highest root number and dry weight. Root production was markedly reduced with age of stem cuttings. Half-nodal cuttings will potential axilliary bud and leaf cuttings taken from the third node were also successfully rooted. Differences in rooting characteristics of 11 patchouli accessions were also studied. The accession 'Faculty'showed a remarkable rooting capacity in terms of root length and number. The 'Indang' accessions produced the least number of roots. A significant increase in root number was observed in cuttings treated with 1000 ppm IBA. In contrast, fewer but longer roots were produced at the basal cut end of the control cuttings
