Its mushed in the middle as the cat slept on it ...or it would be covered in bloom on top too. Cats, what can you do?

I used to have one of these. It's easy to take leaf cuttings. Have you tried it ?

Sort of..my wife takes broken pieces and puts them in other pots. This one is due for a dividing.

I used to take a leaf and place it on some compost. Then slit through some of the veins. Put inh a plastic bag and keep moist.
New plants grow on the cut veins and then you can plant them up :)
