Once you've trimmed off the lower leaves, place a plastic sleeve over the stem and fasten it with tape or a twistie. |

Fold the plastic sleeve back and make an incision 1/4" deep and 1" long in an upward motion. (Make sure the knife is sharp.) |

Pack the incision with moist sphagnum moss. This will prevent the cut from healing. |

Roll the plastic sleeve back up and fill it with moist sphagnum moss. This is the medium the roots will grow into. |

Secure the sleeve with a twistie or tape forming a ball around the stem. |

Once you can see roots forming through the plastic, remove the new plant from the parent plant. Use pruning shears to make a cut just below the plastic sleeve. |

Remove the plastic and tease out the roots a little. Fill an appropriately sized pot with soil, and plant normally. |
