the simplest is propagation by offspring i.e extraction of young shoots with
roots.
Cuttings are practiced at the end of summer ;place them in a damp
sandy trench in the open air. The stems of the plant are hollow ,so cut
directly under the leaf node where there should be no voids . Water the
the plants as needed. Grow in any well drained or most drained soil in sun or
shade.
