Yes although I have found that you need quite a few cuttings since some don't take. I had much better results air layering small branches. I did some cuttings last june and air layers in early fall. The air layers have already zoomed past all the cuttings.

Yes it can, but why bother? You can buy Arboricola at any of the big box stores and most retail nurseries around the state. Very inexpensive plant.

yes I know and they grow well when other don't just that I end trimming them once ir twice a year ad id like ore and rather them ad 8 or 10 bucks a pot could save a hundres bucks or so

Do you mean Schefflera arboricola?
