Many tender perennials and herbs can be overwintered indoors in a sunny location. Cut the plants back by about one-third and repot them in fresh potting mix. Another method is to take cuttings: make a clean angled cut 3-6 inches down from the top of the stem, just below a leaf node. Remove the leaves from the lower part of the stem and insert the bottom third in a small container of moist potting mix. Alternatively, place the cuttings in a small jar of water and pot them in potting mix when they have developed healthy roots.Â
