Hi GOY friends: I need some advice re. taking cuttings off my SOLENUM.
It is now 20ft+ and growing really well in a less than perfect spot. I have included photos, but as a novice gardener was wondering if it will be possible to take a cutting and grow elsewhere? Can you tell me:
1. Is this possible?
2. How/where to make the cut?
3. Best time of year?
4. Any rooting compound or special equipment required?
It's a lovely plant and seems to do well in my soil, so would like to replicate it!
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi, you can take semi ripe cuttings from now to early autumn,
take a piece of stem about 4 inches long, cut just below a leaf joint, take off the lower leaves, leaving a couple at the top, you can now either use hormone rooting powder or not, it's your choice, I don't usually bother, then insert the cutting/s around the edge of preferably a clay pot,water the pot, and place into a propagator, preferably 1 with a thermostat, to give gentle bottom heat, or if you prefer you can sow seed in spring, again in a propagator at 64 to 68 deg f, Derek.
