Aralia – Prune and Propagate

Q: I am a lover of aralias, not the false aralia, but the “parsley” and “dinnerplate” ones…at least those are the names I know them by.

I have a dinnerplate that really needs to be pruned and I would like to propagate the cutting.

I’ve not done this before and I would really appreciate any tips…aralias are not a common find in most gardening books, so any advice would be great!

A: This site seems to cover the basics:
