Won't really know until say March when we want the stools out of the cold greenhouse... some will take and some will rot. If your site has a chrysant man they will often have spares. We pick them up at about 50p a time from the local lottie shop.....

Hi

You can make your own, buy your wife some and enjoy.

I tend to cut the stem above the the swelling in the stem into maybe 6-10 inch bits.

Then pop these with the swell at the top in a vase of water on a window still and they should root at the bottom.
