Hello Robin,
Pick up one of the little running stems and look for roots. Clip the piece
between the mother plant and the roots, stick in moist potting medium and place in
shade. Do not let it dry out. That is it. You can stick it in the ground this fall
or wait for it to grow on a bit larger. For quicker results stick two or three
starts into a 4 inch pot and grow for one year before transplanting.
