Step 1

Find a plant with runners - this has three nice ones.

Step 2

Whilst a simple hoop of wire will hold the plantlets in place, if you wrap the wire around a dowel to create a loop, it is much easier to find and remove these clips later.

Step 3

Fill some pots with compost - one for each plantlet.

Step 4

Trim the runner after the first plantlet. You can pot up two or three from a single runner, but the resulting plants will get progressively weaker. Do not separate the plantlets from the parent plant.

Step 5

Make a shallow hole in the compost.

Step 6

Push the plantlet into the hole and secure it in place with a clip. Firm the compost around the base of the plantlet.

Step 7

Keep the compost moist and wait for a couple of weeks.

Step 8

Once you see roots at the base of the pot, cut the umbilical cord and remove the clip.
