Dale,

I got a black pearl last year and fell in love with it. It stood up to our Texas heat and looked great all year. I was ablet o succesfully propogate it this spring after overwintering the original.

I use a method of propogation that is much like a mini greenhouse. I use a 2 lite soda bottle, or a juice bottle. I cut in the middle to create a top and a bottom. I DO NOT add any holes. the idea is to create a mini climate. I then use potting mix that is only wet enough that I can clump in my hand with no water draining. Any wetter and your cuttings will mildew. place this in the bottom of your mini greenhouse.
