5 un-rooted 3-4 inches long cuttings, no soil, no pot. To root and grow this cutting, bury the lower 1/3 of the cutting into good potting soil or compost in a pot. Keep the soil moist, and new shoots and roots will start to grow after a few weeks. The plant is sun-loving, and thrives well in very dry and hot environments. While it adapts well to various soil types, it prefers well drained soils, or even rocky terrain. Pictures show plant at maturity just to show you how it will look like when it is fully grown.
