Attention to proper lighting and moisture levelsstimulates the growth of roots in plant cuttings. Cuttings need moist environments in partial shade. The lighting and the moisture levels help keep the cuttings from drying out.
Additionally, cuttings benefit from such additional inputs as rooting hormones and rooting substances. For example, a chemical rooting hormone is IBA [indole-3-butyric acid]. A natural rooting hormone is tea from the bark of the willow [Salix spp]. A natural rooting substance is honey.
Honey is widely know as an organic stimulator of root growth in some cuttings.
There are also many commercial "Rooting Hormone" products available in powder, gel and liquid forms. These can usually be found at garden centres or plant nurseries.
Not all plants respond to these products.
More importantly choosing the right parts of the plant for your cutting material, correct timing, correct soil medium, correct light levels and correct moisture will determine success with cuttings.

How does a young plant that grows from stem cutting obtain food?
roots will appear if u put the cuttings in sufficient water
How will the roots of a plant move?
The roots of a plant generally move underground due to geotropism. The growth of these roots is also determined by the availability of moisture and nutrients.
What do plant roots take in to keep a healthy growth?
Plant roots absorb water, and anything that may be dissolved in that water.
What may stimulate the growth of the roots in plant cutting?
Honey is widely know as an organic stimulator of root growth in some cuttings. There are also many commercial "Rooting Hormone" products available in powder, gel and liquid forms.
