Further information

Content: The cutting can be taken from any part of the stem. The thickness and length of the stem doesn’t matter. The foliage at the tip of the cutting does not need pruning. Allow the stem to dry out for a few days to a week in a shady spot. After drying out, put the cane in an appropriate-sized pot filled with a free-draining mix. ( Don used two parts seed-raising mix to one part river sand.) No hormone powder is necessary. Keep the pot moist and store in a shady spot with plenty of light. ( Tip: make sure you tie the cutting to something after it is potted, as it may fall over in the wind.)
