minus-squareRemy Rose@lemmy.onehexbear6·edit-21 year agooh yeah, you can definitely cut them into pieces before planting. I started with ONE, cut it into pieces, and now I have a whole little thicket of them. I'm not sure what the theoretical limit on that is though, like how small of a piece will grow linkfedilink
minus-squareMister@lemmy.cahexagonhexbear4·1 year agoThank you! My goal is to get a nice thicket of them going as well. How long did it take? linkfedilink
