can you clone an outdoor plant

So basically i have 3 outdoor plants that havent shown there sex yet but are close and i was wondering can i take a clipping dip it in root horomone and stick it in soil and put it in the sun will it work and if not why

It should work as long as you can keep some sort of humidity dome over them, clip the leaves back about 1/2 way (cut the tips off to reduce transpiration) and mist them several times a day.
One thing I might worry about is heat - you might cook the little beauties in the hot sun, but a dome is a must.

Oh, and welcome to RIU.

Yeah I do it out here in the North, I usually come every couple days and mist and make sure the pellets/ soil is moist and it always works. Especially when the plant comes from outside to begin with, it can usually take the sun fairly well. Humidity is def a must though!

Its possible. Just make a little dome and put em in the shade where its not too hot.

yes i do all the time but keep in shade for a week or two then put back in sun you should have no problems keep the soil very moist though
