I just stuck it in the ground, watered it, and put a cut-off milk jug over it and it grew! Now, when I need an extra plant, I just break off a sucker and stick it in a pot. Then in a few weeks it's ready to plant out. * * * * Terry May the force be with you Plants: 1370 | From: Copper Hill, Virginia | Registered: Apr 2004  |  Seeded: 65.133.93.147 weezie13 Compost Queen! Member # 772 posted                       Yep, Njoynit, same for me what Terry did, broke the top off of a plant, planting it, and went Ooops and said to my self, SELF, let's experiment, and I striped the bottom leaves, stuck it in, and watered... I did water it a few times with my personal fav, Shultz Plus 10~60~10, just to get over some shock and give it a couple of foliar feeds to get some nutrients until it could send out some roots... Might have been a bit slower than the rest, busy rooting up and all, but still got some 'mater's out of it!!! Weezie * * * * Weezie Don't forget to be kind to strangers.
