    If you want to take a couple of cuttings from plug plants before planting out time you need to get them growing fast now.
    They need to be potted up into 3.5 or 4 in pots straight away and kept warm, about 60-70F in a propagator in full light.
    Then when you get some new growth about 3ins long these can be used as cuttings, rooting them in the same temp.
    One warning, some of these types of plants can grow flower buds on very small plants, if it shows flower buds I would not bother, they dont root as well usually, and also dont make good plants.
