Just wanted to let you know that I rooted a piece in 2009 just by clipping it and putting it in moist soil ... outside ... unprotected ... in spring. A lot of stuff will root that way, including woody stuff. Didn't seem especially reluctant. Also, Logees usually has this plant, and I think glasshouseworks as well.

Any other acid seems risky. Rainwater is another option, but that's not too reasonable in the dead of winter. Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083803851861243093noreply@blogger.com
