Hi Terri,

They all can be propagated the same way. Just cut the stem to whatever height you want .. no less than 8 inches please .. and it will start producing new growth from the sides. You can then take the parts you cut off and cut them down to about 8 inches each, strip off the leaves and stick about 2 inches of the bottom part into a good draining potting mix. They will root and you'll have a bunch of new plants! For the very tops of the plant, only strip off the leaves on the bottom 2 - 3 inches depending on how long your cuts are.

In the picture below, all the yellow arrows are pointing to roots! It might take a month or two for new growth to start appearing.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
