Is the split leaf philo the type of plant you can cut the trunk and plant it somewhere else and it will grow? (Like some palms for instance) Thank you in advance

Answer 1

They do! Just find a segment with aerial roots (They look like little bumbs near a leaf base) and cut a section between those. This will leave some of them on the bottom of the cutting, which will turn to roots once planted.
