How to propogate L.aromatica

[jmhart]

Just as it says, how do you propagate L.aromatica? APC says to use the " 'topping' " method.

By this do they mean just cut the top off, pull the bottom leaves off the new piece, and plant it? Mine is growing great, so it's time to spread it out.

Yeah just cut it where ever you want. I used to trim mine down near the bottom leaving 3 or 4 nodes to regrow. The will then send out multiple stems from that one stem but my lighting isn't strong enough to keep them bushy,I'd lose to many leaves and get scraggly stems.

You could trim every 2nd node and make a beautiful bush out of them.

I also found out that it will grow new shoots from the nodes, and those can be cut and replanted.

Thanks for the help.
