Brazilian Red Cloak - propagation from cuttings A friend gave some cuttings ftom her yard yesterday. I cut off several stems just belkw a leaf node, then dipped in rooting hormone and Placed into potting mix. I put three cuttings in each pot. It should take about 4 to 8 weeks to develop roots. I plan to set these outside near my potting bench where they will get watered once a day. I will update this in a month or two.
