    No probs!
    Give me a nudge in the spring when it's back in growth.

    Hi, does anyone one know much about Ceropegia sandersonii? I would like to take some cuttings from mine, but am not sure of the best way to do it, and which compost to use, one gardening site suggested putting cuttings in building sand. Not sure it that's ok or not. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello Mr G, Many thanks for you reply. Your information was really helpful. Could you tell me if you let the cuttings dry out first, and how long they took to root,also once you potted them did you just water normally?
    Thanks again your help is much appreciated. :SUNsmile:

      Just use a piece of the plant with a few nodes lay it on the mix in a seed tray and just lightly cover each nodal area with some of the mix & within about 8 weeks you should have roots & leaves from all the nodes,I then snip off the stems joining each rooted node and pot them up in a gritty mix(compost,perlite & grit) and water them in. Cer. Sandersonii when established can be watered regular in the summer months then sparingly during the winter.

      p.s. I don't let the cuttings dry out first :)
