Post by LadyLiza »

I am new at this so don't know what to do... My son got his gloved hand stuck to my plant and while trying to remove the glove he pulled off some of the little clusters .. How do i go about replanting these ... Thank you..

Tough plant to re-root! Do you fancy trying grafting? Place the pups on a tray of perlite, grit, or pumice, dry potting soil if you don't have the others. Then wait. I'm guessing most will die, they will certainly get pretty dehydrated before they root. You might try bottom heat but you don't want to keep them too warm or in the sun because they will just dry up.
