    I have a friend who wanders around gardening centers and will take little clippings with his fingers and bring them home in his pocket then grow them at home.

      Thats called proplifiting!

      I think its more acceptable to pick off the small bits that already fell, since snapping a bit off a plant could harm it.

      edit: fell, not feel.

      I’ve got 6 or 8 plants I picked off the floor at Lowe’s. One flew off the forklift and hit me in the face. Stuffed it in a water bottle and took it home. Rooting nicely!
