− | ''Dombeya wallichii'' can benefit from being divided as the plant develops multiple canes that have a better chance of success than those that grow out of a single trunk as with a tree.
| + | Pull down on 10 inch new shoots growing off of the trunk of the plant, tearing them off with a bit of the trunk. Cut off all but the top couple of leaves. Place in a glass full with about 6 inches of water, in a warm but not hot spot, with bright light but no direct sunlight. Keep the water level topped off to 6 inches as it evaporates. Many of the shoots will form white 'crystals' then roots will come out of those, at which point it should be planted in a potting mix that retains some moisture but drains very well and does not stay wet, still out of the sun. After a couple of larger leaves grow, the new plants can be hardened and planted. |
