A cordyline australis in my garden, about 6ft tall, has just bloomed and
below the bloom is a very strong and perfectly formed young plant (itself
about 10ins long) and growing out of the side of the main stem, but not
having any roots, of course.

I would like to separate it to grow on as a new plant and although I have
done a great deal of plant propagation over the years, I really don't know
how to tackle this! Would some kind of layering be the answer, perhaps.

Any helpful suggestions gratefully received.

Looks like you have the assembled wisdom of URG on the back foot with this one. I'll be watching with interest.
