Camellias are easiest to root when you take cuttings from late spring to mid-summer, depending on where you live, when the wood is half-ripened. Take a six inch cut, remove the lower leaves, dip in rooting hormone, place in pot, put in shady area, and cover with Mason jar for extra humidity. After 6 weeks or so, remove Mason jar, and leave plant until the following spring, when you can transplant to a larger container. I rooted many cuttings successfully that way during my camellia-growing days in Tidewater Virginia.

Thank you soooo much for the info... everything I found sounded extremely difficult... I'll give it a try if for no other reason than to say I did it :) and if it works then I'll be looking for homes for them because I won't be able to keep them alive in this heat... so if you're interested keep a look out in a few months for the results... :)
