I have started new plants from woody cuttings, rooting hormone, 8-oz
cups of vermiculite, and a plastic bag. Out of 8 cuttings I rooted 5,
then two years added these to 3 other established plants in part sun.
As many woody cuttings these are a bit more finicky and require more
patience (~3 months) to root than other cuttings. I give weak and
frequent feedings and keep mulched with partly rotted sawdust for
established plants. Cottonseed meal for young plants is very good.
Keep slightly moist. Slightly dappled or morning sun is good.
