Hi Art,
Would you please enlighten me on how to do this. The stems are so tightly
packed at the base that I am afraid of damaging anything if I just cut off
a part.
Also, I read that N. domestica can also be propagated by cuttings. I have
been trying to without any success. I wonder if anyone knows of any special
way of doing it to be successful in rooting its cuttings.
