Yes, magnolias can be grown from cuttings, though success rates can vary and it often requires specific conditions. Softwood cuttings can be taken in late spring/early summer, and semi-ripe cuttings in late summer. Hardwood cuttings are also possible in late autumn/winter for some species. Cuttings generally benefit from rooting hormone and a warm, humid environment (e.g., a propagator or misting system) to encourage root formation. It can be a slower and less reliable method than purchasing a grafted plant for many home gardeners.
