OP gardeningmomma Member G Joined: Mar 2006 NY	Anyone have any advice? And do I put the cutting in water or soil to root? Thanks

Tonya Member Joined: May 2006 Holden Beach, NC	I pruned mine back quite a bit and stuck the cuttings back in the same pot...so far so good, it's been almost a month and the only one I lost was the smallest one. I have new growth on some and the rest are still healthy. Good luck!
