Can you propagate easily and what time of year? Thanks.
I assume you are talking about propagating from cuttings. I've listed a few links for you to help you get started.

After you have learned about the basics of propagating, you can then research the type of plant you are growing. Use the search bar on the home page of Gardening Know How to look for the plants your working with.
Propagating is a great way to expand your garden.
Good Luck!
I got green cane poles that I cut. How do I root these cane poles?

A friend of mine said his mom used to break off a flower from a plant, put it on the ground and cover it with a pickle jar and it would start a new plant. Is that possible, and how exactly does it work?
There are many different methods of propagating plants depending on the type of plant it is and type of cutting that is obtained from it. The following articles will explain these different methods:

Here is a link to an article where somebody propagated a fuchsia cutting using a pickle jar. A pickle jar conserves moisture much like a greenhouse does:

I have several trees on my property but would like to add more. Is it possible to take a branch from an existing tree and place it in water to make it grow roots? I do not want to buy trees with balls of sod on them to be planted but would like to start out from scratch. How do I do this? Thanks.
Unfortunately, this is not the way most trees are propagated. However, this article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/tgen/how-to-root-cuttings-from-various-shrubs-bushes-and-trees.htm
I read the article at https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/propagation/cuttings/honey-root-hormone.htm and I am wondering why the honey needs to be mixed with boiling water for striking the cuttings? Some people say it is best to use the straight honey and that if it is added to boiling water it could destroy the beneficial properties of the honey, such as its ability to kill fungi and bacteria. Could this be a problem? Could you please share this with the author of the article or give me their contact details? I plan to use it for Nepenthes pitcher plant cuttings. Do you know anyone that has used it for them and, if so, have they found it worked well? You can see more about these carnivorous plants and others that I have which contain as self-watering wick system at http://www.advantagein.com/cp. I am also seeking people to resell my plants. Regards Richard.
The great thing about gardeners is the sharing of information and trying different options.
The ratio of honey to water for rooting is a tried method.
I'm sure many a gardener, past, present and future will make adjustments to this formula!
Have you tried Cinnamon as a rooting hormone? I have had great luck using it for propagation when I've run out of Rooting Hormone.

I have a climber, not sure what it is. I believe I have two plants in one basket - purchased at a store like a box store or grocery store two Christmases ago as a short little thing. Now the vine part is about 8 ft long, fine by me I love it, but I would also like to clip and make new plants to give as gifts. How would I go about this? I know some plants you can clip, put in water and wait for the roots, then put in soil and some you put in soil as soon as you clip. I realize I have not given a definite description but if you could give an idea based on what I've said it would be great.
I think either approach would work for this plant. Roots may develop more quickly in water, put the clippings will root just as easily in soil that has some part sand.
