Recently I propagated it just by leaves, without main stem. Evenly I have no idea about it before. I was lucky so succeeded. 😃😃 #umbrellaplant

Have you used any rooting hormone?

Oh sorry I forgot this tip: I sometimes put the cuttings into water for a day :) before planting them in soil.

@josy Yes I used rooting hormones but didn't put them in water before.

Spray them daily and only light water to the roots. No direct sunlight. Fingers crossed! 👍

Hey @wesleybrian base on my experience the younger parts of the plant are much easier to propagate from #stemcuttings.

I'm not sure... Please ask...maybe taking off a few more leaves from the cuttings would be better? @gjones @brightcolours @Jason

Thanks @gjones That's some help. Actually I don't know what to do about this branch at bottom right which is totally drooping. The leaves on bottom half of it look healthy but on top these are pale and lifeless. Confused whether to cut off all, half or tie it up straight and wait.

@gjones Even if it's unhealthy? And should I plant the whole cutting or shorten it?

@carolgs The one at my work is about eight feet tall. That's where the inspiration came from.
