Any advice on how to propagate this bit of umbrella plant? My sister cut it off the top as hers was too tall, how is best to keep this going? Thank you!

Stick it in water, and wait for roots. It takes a while. Or stick it in soil! I just propagated one!

I’ve had a lot of success sticking it in water and under a grow light
