Thanks.

Cuttings never worked for me. Layerings do very well so give it a try. Select a supple stem (not woody) that's willing and able to bend down to the earth. Remove the leaves at the node (or two nodes - better chance of success) and scratch up the soil where they'll be touching the earth. Lay down the stem, cover with a minor amount of soil, then add a brick that will keep the stem and nodes cool, be sure to water the area well. Check for roots about six months later. Transplant the following spring.
