I'm going to have to do this with an extra plant this year for sure!

Last time I had to do this was 10 years ago, but I just cut off the very top of the plant [included a branch], maybe it was 6" long.
Stuck the top in a cup of water with a
very tiny pinch of the blue stuff; put the cup under the lights & watched the water level. Figured I had nothing to lose, and was delighted when I saw tremendous root growth.
I continued watching the decapitated giraffes too, but discarded most of them come planting time as the 'new' plants were so much healthier looking.
