KEEP DAMP AND IN SUNNY WINDOW. THEN REPOT USING THE SAME SOIL WHEN READY. FINISH FILLING POT WITH SOIL. MINE DO GREAT.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Jan 02, 2012I suspect you found so many answers because it's fairly easy to do, Lisa. My sister just sticks the cut-off tops in our sandy Florida soil and away they grow. I think the key is using a well-draining planting medium and keeping the soil evenly moist, but not wet, until the plant gets established. Good luck!Helpful Reply
