Hi folks,

I was wondering whether you could help me. I have a cheeseplant which is many years old and is root bound and no longer growing.
I would be grateful to have your opinions regarding:

1. repotting the cheeseplant into the same container.
2. how to take a cutting from it when I can see only two tiny nodes where it is difficult to cut.

With many thanks and best wishes,

Mrabc

Welcom @Mrabc . It is a wonder that your poor plant is still alive, never mind giving you cuttings. This plant needed to be potted on many times, and wanted to grow tall and strong. To save it, you could try potting it on now into a slightly bigger pot, and use some fresh compost. Feed it with slow release fertiliser - Osmacote is best, and give it a good watering. Do not be surprised though if the shock kills it.
I am surprised it has survived this long with that much neglect.
