Insert the cut end of each 6-inch cutting into the medium, keeping at least one node below the surface. Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging, and provide warm temperatures and bright, indirect light. High humidity can be maintained with a humidity dome or plastic cover, but allow some ventilation to prevent mold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce roots have formed and new growth appears, gradually acclimate the young plants to outdoor conditions. Transplant into a sunny, well-drained location in the garden or a larger container. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system.
