The cutting propagation of Illicium religiosum Sieb. et Zucc was effective such as hardwood cutting was done in May and softwood cutting was done on in July. The optimal soil composition for rooting was 1:1:1(vermiculite, peatmoss and perlite). The result was that the softwood cuttings done in July took roots in every bed; especially, cuttings in the bed processed with 1,000 mg/L IBA showed the best result: 90% of rooting rate, 13.5 in number of rooting, and about 8cm of root length. Hardwood cutting done in May showed that the bed processed with 1,000 mg/L IBA resulted in 90% of rooting rate; the bed processed with 1,000 mg/L IBA + 1,000 mg/L NAA showed 80% of rooting rate; the number of main roots and the length of roots were also satisfying. For the cuttings of I. religiosum "Variegata" Sieb. et Zucc, the result was less satisfying than that of I. religiosum Sieb. et Zucc, but it was proved that even the cuttings of “Variegata” took roots in the bed processed with 100 mg/L IBA and 1,000 mg/L/ IBA.
