Similar as with H. koelmaniorum, var. mcmurtryi can be easily propagated by seeds, from the leaves also, but it makes more proglem due to the size. Keep it more in shade.

Wow....simply the essence of beauty.,,beautifully, but one flawed attribute of all that beauty,,, For the world and everyone else.whom,breath, gets taken away by,. The moment of exalted love beyond the imaginated
boundaries of of your infinity... Being highly Blessed...and, I must admit, being Highly Favorable is always required. But to merely,be in the presence of perfection to the tenth power purely first design for the bar to define the perfect meaning thereof. This created world of Beautiful US... thank you for sharing, demonstrates humanity.
