Can Malabar spinach be grown from cuttings?
Malabar spinach can be grown from either seeds or cuttings, but I find it is easiest to grow from cuttings. In fact, when I am out harvesting leaves and stems and find a stem that is too big or too tough to eat, I simply push it into the soil and most of time it will re-root.
