Some of the methods employed in the vegetative propagation of tea were examined when severed shoots were stored over prolonged periods of time. Cuttings from shoots stored over a period of 3 days showed better survival and plant growth similar to those from freshly severed shoots. Better plant growth was obtained when cuttings were kept moist and planted by 1100 h. When light was limiting cuttings exposed to about 2 h of sunshine after planting produced better plants than those shaded. Significant interactions between period and type of storage, time of planting and condition of cuttings and exposure treatments and type of clone were noted for a number of attributes in respect of each interaction
