My google skills appear to be failing me today. Does anyone have any
experience of how to go about propogating a mandeville plant? My neighbour
and I both have one each - mine is currently in full flower, she's sulking
cos hers is just starting to bud. :-)

I wondered about taking cuttings, but it's one of those plants that seems to
bleed a lot when it is snapped, so I'm not sure a cutting would work at all.

Anyone got any suggestions (preferably from experience)

My mother had a huge pink mandeville that she split every year right
down through the roots. I think that's the best way how to take
cuttings but it is a bit vicious! She gave away half of the plant and
SFAIK, they survived. One she gave to me got a bit too big for the
house so I put it outside against a wall. It lived up to winter 2009.
