[QUOTE=alpiner;49312]Thx Robert. Learn something new today. This is great tips for offshoot, without needing to impact mother plant and rooting happens while under care of mother plant. Your 'incision', is it a slit(line), a slice(small area), or a deeper cut(beyond outer layer)? What's the size of the incision? And typically how long does it take for the roots to form from the incision? Sorry, getting carried away with info.

a deep "V" cut till the center of the stem (the pith). The duration of rooting will depend on the plant's health.
