...I took the plunge and finally propagated it! Not by choice mind you. During this last horrible winter we had, my original plant was growing about 8 ft up the greenhouse wall. It got some stem damage and defoliated where it had rooted to the wall so I had no choice but to take it down. I topped it and replanted the best part, which was a really thick stem with 4 large leaves. The stem, I chopped up into sections and replanted by just laying them in a large azalea pot on top of some soil and keeping them moist. A couple months later...VOILA!

I am historically afraid to cut stems and propagate stuff. I am so glad this actually worked. I am going to keep it potted I think, all the stems in a large pot with a big trellis to grow up instead of the GH wall.
