Our selection of 6" Totem Poles this week is quite unique! All of these poles are continuous growers so be sure to leave them room to do so! As with most vining plants, they are also easy to propagate. Simply find a node, cut below it, stick that stem in rooting hormone, and either put it in dirt or water and wait for the vine to grow! Both methods will need a consistent water supply. While these plants do have some similar characteristics, they do vary in care needs.
