Thank you both for your responses. While trying to stake some of the wayward branches a little while ago, I accidentally broke off 2 of them. It\'s good to know that I can try to reroot them even though they\'re not dormant. I\'ve made straight cuts along the bottom of each stem and clipped almost all of the leaves about 3/4\" from the stem. They\'re drying indoors now. One of the branches has a cluster of flowers at the end. Do I cut that off, too? And what do I do about the stubby stem in the container where the branches broke off? I made a clean, angled cut and dusted it with a fungicide, but as you can see in the photo, it rained just a few minutes later. Can I use this same technique on the remaining branches when the weather begins to turn cold so that I can bring the whole container indoors? It\'s still too big to get it through any doorway, and our garage temperature often dips below freezing in the middle of winter.
