    Now that I have found the name of this plant I was wondering if anyone can give me instructions on how to go about propagating it. I found a website with instructions but I'm *really* new at this and don't understand some of the terms used, such as letting the cut callous. Can anyone offer their expertise?

    Thank you!

    snip the piece off you want to take as a cutting, put it down somewhere for a few hours and forget about it, go back when you remember about it again and stick it into some free draining compost, water every now and then, let the compost almost dry out between waterings.......its an easy plant to root ;) I've even broken bits off my plant and just pushed them into the pot next to the parent plant and they rooted.

    Thanks Oscar, I appreciate the info! I'm excited and very hopeful that it works... It's such a beautiful plant, I'd like to give some away to friends.
