| Looking for some help taking a cutting from a healthy Hindu Rope.
Last I did it was in 2004 and I don't want to forget anything.
I remember I just cut a piece of and rooted it in water. After some decent roots were grown, I slowly added soil to the water every day until it was all soil. Then...I moved it to a pot. It was four inches long the. It's about two feet now.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

| Hey, if that worked for you last time, and it's already grown that much, I'd say do it that way again! This time of year, it may take a bit longer to develop roots - they always root faster in spring. But it should still be fine to do it now if you want. Denise in Omaha |

| Hi, I agree w/Denise, if it worked last time repeat the same. I have a pot full of rooted cuttings. I want to keep it uniform so I cut them off when they get longer than the others. Then I just stick em back in the pot with the mamma. Thats how I started the mamma. I took a cutting from a friend and stuck it in a pot w/carnosa. That was back before I knew better. Good luck. . .

| Thank you both very much! My little plant is very special to me. It's the one surviving cutting (of two) from a monster plant my mom had before she passed away in 2004. Thank you again :-) |

| I sorta know what you mean, ccj962. My Hindu Rope is special because it's a cutting from my grandmother's 20 year old "mamma" plant. It's a slow grower, but it's thriving at the moment. :) |

| Best of luck to you both! I can only imagine how important those plants must be, I'm sure there's a lot of sentimental value with your heirloom plants. Hope they do well for you! |
