Stem Cuttings Take cuttings with at least one node and a few leaves. You can root these cuttings in water or directly in moist sphagnum moss. Once roots have developed, plant the cuttings in potting mix.

Air Layering This method involves making a cut on a stem and wrapping it with moist sphagnum moss. Cover the moss with plastic wrap to retain moisture. Once roots develop from the wounded area, you can cut the stem below the roots and pot the new plant.

Division This technique is best for mature plants with multiple stems. Carefully remove the plant from its pot and gently separate the root ball into sections, ensuring each section has both roots and stems. Pot each division in fresh potting mix.
