An experiment was conducted at the Horticultural garden of the Federal College of Agriculture Akure Ondo State Nigeria to investigate the effects of the types of stem cuttings and stem cutting lengths on the rooting and growth of Duranta repens in the nursery. Stem cuttings of the plant were subjected to different treatments; stem cutting types (softwood, semi hardwood and hardwood) and lengths (10 cm and 20 cm). The experiment was conducted under normal nursery conditions to determine the types of stem cutting and stem cutting lengths best for the rooting of the plant. The experimental design was a 3 x 2 factorial in complete randomized design (CRD) with four replications. The results revealed that the type and stem cutting length had effect on the rooting of D. repens. Percentage rooting was higher for hardwood cuttings irrespective of the length of cutting. Hardwood cutting of 20 cm length however, gave the best rooting followed by the semi hardwood of same length. Softwood cutting of length 10 cm and 20 cm gave the poorest result.
