So, anyways this thing needs help. It is obvious not to give it much water but I need to figure out the best way to take cuttings, I think, as it is BARE to the ends...it has rather a bit of leaf, but only at the ends. Or is this normal for them...and what kind of soil does it need? I can't find ANY info about it but IT think that has something to do with my spelling issue, hehe... Quote \| Reply \| Report

First, look to see if there are any roots developing on the bare stems. Otherwise, just trim the plant and put those cuttings in potting soil. Even leaves soemtimes take root if they fall into the pot. Quote \| Reply \| Report

I think I may leave it that way so the flowers, whatever color they are, will make a colorful cone this winter hopefully. Quote \| Reply \| Report
