Thanks ...... we have a heater Janey , it only comes on if the temp. drops below freezing .... we have put bubble wrap all round which should help to keep it warm ...........

Yes Sandra , they fill all the gaps .....

No secret Dawn , all you need to do is snip off the top 3 " of the plant , cut across beneath a pair of leaves , take the bottom leaves off , dip in some rooting powder , shake , ( not you silly ) the powder off ..... and pot it up .. done....
