INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROOTING CUTTINGS
Insert the cutting at least 1" into the soil. Wait two weeks before watering the plant lightly; only water again if the soil has dried out. Roots should form within 3 to 4 weeks. During the rooting period, make sure the plant is receiving bright shade. Acclimate the plant to full sun slowly to avoid scorching the leaves.
