| This is not my plant, but as close as I could find doing google searches. The only difference is that mine doesn't have the pink undertones. but it does have the speckles which are silvery looking.
Well recently my plant got wacked (while camping out in my garage to stay warm) My huge trash can lid swung down and wacked off half this plant...UGH....so I gathered up the pillage and thought, OK, I'll make rootings from all these. Problem is, that I'm not really sure what type of plant it is and what techiquue would be best. This happened yesterday and I put them all in water until I could figure it out.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

| Pink is usually 'Maurice Amey' and silver can be either 'Don Miller' or 'Sinbad'. These are great shrubs in summer but notorious for mildew in winter. They root in water fairly easily (change water every day or two) and also in soil. Keep warm and in bright light for best results. Here was one of my 'Sinbad' plants a couple of years ago.
