Thanks everyone!
Sothe lots of light bit is good since I live in Canada and full light isn't as good as full light elsewhere at this time of year. So I cut off the spikes and bought some rooting hormone, but the prognosis is worse than expecte as mytwo year olds took some clippers to it- they said it was the cat, but he doesn't have opposable thumbs. Any way I think the bagging idea might be the best bet now since the leave will be dead shortly

I'll keep you all updated!
