Cloning a plant that was just brought home

I just bought some potted Stevia and Chocolate mint plants and I was wondering if I can clone them right away or do I have to let them adjust to their new home?

If the stem on Stevia is too woody wait til it pushes out new growth, let that harden off a bit then have at it. I'd use an aerocloner for a better success rate.
Mint propigates easily. You can use the same method or bury an actively growing stem in soil and it will push out new roots.

So it won't stress my plants if I took cuttings so soon after bringing them home?

Nah. Unless they're diseased or insect ridden and stressed already but that's not the case. Go ahead and propigate. :)
