What are the various ways I can propagate a cape flower stalk? Which method is better, soil or water?

I'd do them like leaf cuttings. Both would work. For leaves I usually get faster buds in soil.

Can I cut the stalk into one inch pieces and put those pieces in water?

I guess you could, but to be safe, I wouldn't. http://www.growsundews.com/sundews/Prop ... k_Cuttings_

Just barely tuck it under the soil. With part of it still able to get light. You could use chopped sphagnum moss as a thin top layer. I know a crazy guy called panman who uses a mini food processor to chop sphagnum. Crazy right?

Would it work if you stuck one end in and had it stay upright?

I don't think so. I guess you could try, but I don't think it would work. It works for Root cuttings though

I have tried it and it seems to work, yet the other methods seem to work better

Yeah, his plant was putting out lots of flower stalks, and he gave me one.

Now I want to experiment with mailing flowerstalks. I think it should work better than leaf cuttings. Root cuttings might work even better.
