These plants may be propagated by leaves. Take them 

 off when full grown and hardened a little, and with the 

 whole of their petioles, then let them dry a few days to heal 

 the wound ; after that plant them up to the base of the leaf 

 in sandy soil, and they will root and shoot out young plants 

 from the lower end of the petiole.
