They appear to be growing nearly a foot this summer.

I've had good luck in the winter by sticking the clippings in coke
bottles kept full with water and placing them in a south facing window.
When roots are noticeable & the weather is warm, stick them in the ground.

Hi Hul,


Well now, this time I tried sticking a clipping into
an empty bottle, with a tiny amount of rooting compound
in the water.


I has been five days now and the leaves have not died.
All the ones I tried sticking in the ground, the leaves
died with in a day.


So a good sign, I guess. But no sign of any roots
yet. How long did yours take to develop roots?



Many thanks,
-T

My clipping is loving all the pampering and the leaves
are very healthy. But no roots yet. Think it has
been four weeks now. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
