Pandanus

[Tampa Scott]

I have a Screwpine that has grown large over the last few years and I have grown fond of the appearance of the plant. I made a mistake and planted it at the very back of my property. I now want to have one growing in a more prominent location. My question is can it be rooted from a limb cutting?

Yes, very easily. Screw pine is one of the easiest plants to start from cuttings.

Any size limb can be rooted, from big heavy limbs to small shoots that appear on the trunks.

One of the problems I found out with Pandanus is , if you plant it too close to your house it tries to break tru the windows...it grows and grows....to get rid of it afterwards is a real job.

Thanks for the replies. I will be rooting a limb soon.

Can you dig one up and transplant it easily? I want one and have a friend who has one I can have - if I can dig it up!

Yes, super easy to transplant. I really don't think you can kill them. Other than cold weather, they are tough as nails. I've had some screw pine sit on mulch piles for months and still root.
