My plant is huge, about 6 feet high and as wide. I have to split him (his name is Lenny, at that size he deserves a name) or add on to my house.

Yep...You can cut the main stem, strip all but the newest leaf off, place the stem in a jug of water, and it will sprout roots. The old stem that you shortened will sprout a new stem with new leaves.
Do that with all the old stems and the plant will be like a new plant, and you can give all the new ones to your friends.

They are easy to propogate. Take a cutting , or a bunch of them if Lenny is so huge. Cut just above where leaves are growing. I wouuld make the cuttings 6 or 8 inches. Stay in the softer newer green growth.You could put some in water until you see roots and then plant. That is my preferred method. The other way is to get a powdered rooting hormone and dip the wet freshly cut tips in and plant them into soil. When you have a bunch of plants, you may be able to sell them to a plant store.

First get a product called Super Thrive an give it a good soaking to the root zone (2-3 caps to 10 gallons of water). Wait a day and defoliate thee plant except for a few leaves. Prepare the new planting area first to limit the time that th roots are exposed. After digging the root ball you should saw the section you want off and immediately plant and soak with super thrive again. Being gentle and fast is important. I have about a 98 percent success rate with split leaves. This is the time of year to due it . Good luck!

Simply cut from the stem you think it would still look decorative and remove the cut parts from your wall. You can even plant the cuttings. There would be no adverse effect on the mother plant. It would even branch out and split leaf would soon appear from the new vine.
