Teri--

Do you mean you drastically cut back your Plume?
And--you now have a bunch of cuttings? It wasn't clear to me
from what you wrote.

I think all the cuttings should root easily. I have NEVER lost one!
And--you should get some bloom on them next summer.
And--your mama plant should re-grow. No need to have it in full sun--
just bright light. One of my bigger surprises, a while back, was finding out
that the "Plume" actually prefers some shade (outside).
So--inside--any bright spot inside should be OK.

I cut mine back pretty severely to have a bunch of cuttings for the Spring Swap.
It was cute--as all the cuttings had the beginnings of a bloom at their tips--
and they all had some color on them as i gave them away.

My MAMA plant re-grew huge--and, as I speak (type) it has 3 blooms on it
and a couple more buds showing. I just brought her in 2 days ago....


here she be! Also--the rooted cuttings... Gita

1--Tha Mama
2--The 2 blooms colser--there are also 3 buds--2 on the right--one on the left--
if you can see them.
3--The 3 rooted cuttings i still have. the taller one (on the left) is from spring.
it has a big bloom but on top. It will look amazing when it pops...
