A cutting-grown Brazilian Red Cloak plant from my large shrub. This plant was sold more than a year ago. Photo taken Oct. 2008. For my Brazilian GoY friend, Aleyna.

Well, it's native to tropical Venezuela. It's a pretty tough shrub...however, is tender to cold and frost.

Okies, now... I have to convince Fernando, from Botanic Garden to give me a cutting... :o)
Any tips about how to take the cuttings from the plant... remember Fernando is an agronomist... I shall be very specific and persuasive... lol

Aleyna:
1) Take more than one cutting
2) Semi-hardwood cutting will germinate only
3) Cutting sizes from 8in/20cm - 24in/60cm are best.
4) Plant in moist well-drained soil in semi-shade to shade
5) Should starting generating roots within a couple of weeks.
Cuttings grow extremely fast and roots may fill a small container very quickly.
