>>1779916I have 2 inside in a window that gets a lot of sun and 1 in a raised bed outside, I didn't leave the stems intact because all the instructions I found online just said to remove the leaves completely. I went out this morning about 8am because I heard it's better to do it when theres more sap in the soft tissue. also have been thinking about this book because I really want to get into horticulture.
