The message
from "Phil L" contains these words:


I've removed most of the growth from the bottom foot of the cutting
and these are hanging up to dry, I've planted the cutting in some
compost and soil so that about 8 inches of it are below ground and
I've watered it well,
I only did this yesterday until I could find out more information
about it. Is there anything special I need to do?
Should it be indoors or out?


I'd cut a section of stem out - leaving a scion on the side, and plant
the stem horizontally in a large pot of potting compost, leaving the
scion protruding.

Keep it in a shady place outside, and well watered.



What's a 'scion'? - google images only shows 1,600,000 pictures and every
one of them is of a car.
