Alluadia montagnacii propagation question

Post by DWDogwood »

We have a 5' tall single stem plant that Grigsby sold my wife 24 years ago.
Is it divisible? Succulent or woody?
I'd like to cut 2 segments off-about a foot each- but will they root up?
I assume if I simply nipped a fresher bit from the top that a least the plant would branch.
I've heard it's not common, but there's nothing really distinguishing about it IMHO. But then, I'm a cactus guy.
Thanks for some advice.
Tony

It can be cut and rooted in the summer months, say from late april into may. Standard rooting methods work. Cut, let dry for a week or so then stick in pumice in the shade.
I have done half a dozen A. Procera stems from six inches to 2 foot and they root easily.
I am told A. montagnacii roots easily as well and I will be chopping my four footer this summer.
Forget the dog...Beware of the plants!!!
