Propogate Pachysandra with root cuttings. Cut a shoot approximately 5" long and strip leaves on lower half. Dip into root compound and bury about an inch into water soaked soil. Place under fluorescent lighting or indirect sun, keeping soil moist. Pachysandra should root within two weeks. Plant about 2" apart. This is a ground cover and spreads.
