| Hi piksi, I'm no expert, but I have managed to keep an angelwing alive for a long long time, even when I tried to kill it. Probably the crispy tips are an indication of too much sun. Could also be fertilizer, but I think too much sun. I keep mine in West or East window, or under the porch roof. Just take a deep breath and grab a sharp pair of scissors or better yet, a hobby knife. Whack it off. For rootable sections, go for about 4 inches or so. I go maybe 2 sets of leaves, then strip off the bottom ones, because that stem will be in the soil far enough so the leaves will also be partially submerged. Stick 'em in moist potting mix and water a little bit. The goal is evenly moist, not wet. Keep it that way for a bit to let the roots grow, and you're good to go. You can also stick them back in the same pot you cut them out of to make it look bushier. Don't know what the experts will say, but this works for me. -Mo (WV) |
