Although rooting hormone is not usually required, giving them a boost does make it easier to propagate crepe myrtle cuttings. Rooting hormone can be purchased at most garden centers or nurseries. Dip each end into the rooting hormone and place the cuttings in a pot of moist sand and potting mix about 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cm.) deep. Cover with a plastic bag to keep them moist. Rooting usually take s place within 4-8 weeks.

Once cuttings have rooted, remove the plastic covering. Prior to planting crepe myrtles, relocate them and acclimate plants for about two weeks, at which time they can be transplanted to their permanent location. Plant crepe myrtle trees in fall in areas with full sun and moist, well-drained soil.
