ResumoExpanding the market for house plants is linked to increasing the diversity on offer to consumers. Accordingly, experiments were done to introduce a new plant onto the market: the cultivar `Verlaine' derived from Syzygium paniculatum. This cultivar has a dense foliage and an attractive aspect. It presents interesting characteristics like annual flowering and colorful fruits. The best results of propagation by cuttings were obtained when using cuttings from the basal part of the mother plant, placed in a 1–1 or 2–1 peat–perlite substrate, with a bottom heat around 22°C. Auxins do not affect rooting. The origin of the adventitious roots is endogenous.
