Start in late spring and your cuttings will root within a few weeks and be ready to plant out in the summer.
What to do
- Remove a few 90cm (3ft) shoots from a healthy plant.
- Divide shoot with a knife, cutting above a leaf joint and 5cm (2in) below it.
- Remove a leaf from each cutting.
- Dip cut end in hormone rooting powder.
- Fill a pot with compost and insert several cuttings around the edge - the leaf joint should be level with the surface.
- Water and cover with a clear plastic bag, held in place with an elastic band.
- Put in cool, light place.
- Cuttings should root within a few weeks, when they're ready to grow on in individual pots.
