SleepyWhippet said: that's interesting, just did a google search. I think I'm gonna attempt air layering.., anything to watch out for?
purpleinopp said: If it was mine, I would cut or air-layer once, at the lower line. I would do that because I want to have enough stem to bury so that it anchors and steadies the rest of the plant, as well as having all of that length to develop roots. Those leaves are heavy.
purpleinopp said: Sure, staking works, but it seemed like Sleepy wants to cut it. It looks like there is plenty of room for it to grow for years if that is the desire. As a personal preference, I have more affection for plants with interesting trunks, vs. those that go straight up. Straight seems much more generic to me, not as unique.
