The aim of this work was to observe the influence of number of leaves on rooting semi-hardwood cuttings of Ligustrum sinense Lour. There were used apical cuttings collected on winter, without branches. The statistic design was completely randomized with four replicates and 15 cuttings in each experimental unit. The treatments were: cuttings without leaves, with one leaf, with two leaves, with three leaves and with four leaves. The cuttings were placed in greenhouse with intermittent mist chamber in carbonized rice hulls substrate. The hypothesis is that the number of leaves influences the rooting of Ligustro. All the treatments had a survival rate of 100% and at least 85% of rooting. The lowest results of rooting percentage, number of root per cutting and number of shoots per cutting were obtained with cuttings with four leaves and the better one was with none leaves. The conclusion is that cutting propagation of Ligustro can be easily made on the above conditions, with cuttings without leaves.
