Propagation |
Easily planted. For shorter plants, laying the plant on the ground where you want it to grow is normally enough to get it to begin to grow. It will send out roots from wherever the stem is touching the ground. A very thin covering of soil over the plant can be added to further insure propagation. For taller plants, break off one of the stems and push it into the ground where it will grow. The new plant will be established in a season or two. |
