When ever I take cuttings of my Alpina Zerumbret I dust the rizome in rooting hormone then just plant it immediately. So far they have done well this way.

My Alpina has gotten "huge" as u can see in the pot. The pot I got from a landscaper who was doing a new apartment complex. He gave me numerous very large pots the trees he was planting came in. I have been tempted to divide this Alpina in half so I can have two large ones but Im hesitant. I've had it for so long that I dont want to kill it but at the same time I know it has to be done. Im sure it's roots and the rizome are just over crowded in that pot inspite of it's large size. Maybe I'll just wait till next spring...........we'll see
