Does anyone have any tips on propagating Restio in particular rhodocoma
gigantea? Having just bought one MY natural instinct is to find out

Not I, Janet but this chap seems to!

Chris does most from seed, but some of his bigger clumps he splits, for
seed you need the smoke impregnated blotting paper to soak in water then
water in


Ray sets fire to pine needles in an old tin to start Romneya coulteri off. I
wonder if that would work with Restio?
