Re: I need info

Hi Lynne,
You have a lot of general questions. But one big piece of advice I can 
give is not to start propagating now, that is, this month. It's too hot 
and anything you move, divide, or take cuttings from is most likely to 
die (unless you have a really humid and coolish greenhouse).
I find that it's easiest to do these things in the fall, in October when 
the weather has cooled off. How you propagate depends on the type of plant.
