Member # 772 posted                       You might try clipping it at the end, and stripping a few bottom leaves, and then stick that part into some water.. It should re~root for you... (and possibly make it or force to do some reshooting some side shoots for you... then it won't be soooooo lanky either) * * * * Weezie Don't forget to be kind to strangers.
