1. Cut trunk at ~3 ft above soil (use saw).
2. Repot base in 16" pot with 50/50 potting soil/sand.
3. Cut removed top in half; track orientation (up/down).
4. Plant bottom halves in soil beside mother.
5. In 4–6 weeks: 2 new rooted plants + mother resprouts.

Best in spring, but doable now with strong south window (no drapes).
