Hetty,
when I cut the TI back as they get leggy, I save the growing top part in 3 to 4 inch sections and set them in rootone in a shady spot. Not all make it but then I'd have too many anyway. :-) I've also tried rooting strips of stem that works but not as well.

And Teri, my garden is full of islands of a sort of microclimate. As you know many plants can't handle the direct sun of our summers and need some protection from above and from bordering plants on their sides. So I try to place what will work (not always successfully as the sun lovers tend to take over) but in general I have more shade then sun as I have lawn out there in the sun.

The island where I showed the picture surrounds a sitting area I use on occasion (not too much time for sitting). Here are a few more shots of that same island from different directions.

This is the entry. My pots need water.

PS note the vanilla climbing up a tree where I have baby orchid cactus in a basket. There is a variegated poinsettia growing in the front.
