You know, that is a good question. I have never thought about how to make

going to try to send it to earth when it was not behaving, I would get good
roots in water with fertilizer and put one of the sprigs in the dirt of a
pot next to the water. That would let the parent grow undamaged while the
child sends roots.

Good luck.

Are you saying that it would grow faster just thrown in the pond, or
maybe with the roots in one of those "baskets"? I have tried kitty
litter, rocks, and soil. The roots are everywhere! But the leaves are
few....I want leaves.
