She took a leaf or two like this and kept them in wet tissue on the way home and then she did this. She has a fine bush which she took a cutting from which is thriving in my garden now! She also did this with a bit of a cactus that had fallen off a plant in Lanzarote!!<br />Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.com
