I wanted to even out my pencil plant, so I trimmed it and sunk the ends in the dirt, hoping to propogate new stems. It doesn't seem to be working. 2 months later, most of them have gone floppy, then shrivelled up. Anybody have a clue how to root cuttings of this guy?

Thanks,

Paul

I have a pencil plant (4foot) and cut the lower stems and place in water mixed with Miracle-Gro Quick Start planting and transplanting starting solution. The cuttings stay in water for about two weeks and then transplant into pots and hanging baskets. Have had very good luck in the transplant and have not had any die. After the transplant be sure to water frequently and do not allow potting soil to dry. You will know it has made it when you see new growth of the tiny leafs. I live in Corpus Christi and this plant can grow very tall here. My neighbor has one that is at least 3 feet above her 6 foot tall fence. Mine sits in a large deep pot and is shaped into a tree standing straight up.
