Question

Hi Richo, I think you answered my question (I got a notification) but somehow neither of my question nor your answer is showing up, so I’m resubmitting again… Can cordao be propagated via cuttings? I need to trim back my plant, and it has lots of shoots that look like they have potential for propagation. Thank you much in advance!

Hello Eimi, Sorry if this “comments” thing got glitchy. You can try this with cordao if you want, I don’t think it works. Richo

Hello Eimi,
Thanks for staying in touch! It wouldn’t occur to me to try this but somebody in our staff did try last year and none of them took.
