Because many of its heroes nev-

It wasn’t just Kurt Cobain and

artists on the soundtrack to the
1992 Cameron Crowe romantic
comedy “Singles,” which served as
an early, hugely successful guide
to commercial grunge. Even be-
fore the album’s release, it was
something of a tragic collection
thanks to the presence of Mother

The premature deaths of Alice in

undisclosed causes at his home in
Killarney, Ireland, on Tuesday at
age 57.
Lanegan was one of the genre’s
greatest singers, thorniest lyri-
cists and most troubled figures. In
December, he released “Devil in a
Coma,” a slim volume of prose and
poetry detailing his near-death
battle with covid-19 in the spring
of 2021. It was an unofficial com-

I f you asked Cy the Cynic

to describe himself in five
words, his reply would be
“lazy.” As declarer, Cy never
looks deeply into the play;
he seizes on the first line he
sees.
“Saves wear and tear on
the brain,” Cy says.
The Cynic was declarer at
six spades, and West led the
jack of diamonds. Cy won RHYMES WITH ORANGE HILARY PRICE MARK TRAIL JULES RIVERA
with the ace and took the
A-K of trumps. When East
discarded, Cy continued
with the K-A of clubs and a
club ruff. No queen fell; West
threw a heart. Cy then took
the queen and king of dia-
monds and tried a heart to
his queen. Down one.
“Lead the three of dia-
monds to dummy’s nine,”

dummy entry to set up and
cash the fifth club.”
“No good,” Cy replied.
“West can put up the 10 to
block the suit.”
Cy was being his lazy self.
After he ruffs the third club,
he can exit with a trump.
Then if West leads a low dia-

Cy wins with the nine, ruffs

DAILY QUESTION
You hold:

Your partner opens one
heart, you respond 1NT and
he next bids two diamonds.
What do you say?
ANSWER: To pass might
be a winning action; partner BLONDIE DEAN YOUNG & JOHN MARSHALL SALLY FORTH FRANCESCO MARCIULIANO & JIM KEEFE
might have a weakish open-
ing bid with five cards in
each red suit. But he might
also have a hand with as
many as 18 points. Bid two
hearts, a “false preference.”
You return to a 5-2 trump
fit and give partner another
chance if his hand is strong.

Propagation is an
inexpensive way to grow
your plant collection.
Here’s how to do it.
BY A SHLEY A BRAMSON
About two years ago, the pandemic

pushed people into their homes — and
sent houseplant sales soaring. New
houseplant owners might hesitate to ex-
pand their collection beyond those mon-
steras and philodendrons they bought in
2020. Plants can be expensive, and grow-
ing from seed is time-consuming. But
there is an easier, cheaper way to grow
new houseplants: propagation, or the
process of growing a new plant from a
piece of a mature one.
You can propagate with seeds or roots,
but the easiest and most common meth-
od is by cutting, or transferring a piece of
a mature plant into water or soil and
letting it grow a new root system.
Propagating with cuttings offers a les-
son in plant biology. Emma Erler, land-
scape and greenhouse field specialist at
the University of New Hampshire Exten-
sion, says every plant has a meristem, a
type of tissue that contains cells that can
develop into different plant parts.
“Above ground, meristematic tissue
can turn into buds and shoots, but it’s
also capable of turning into roots,” Erler
says.
There’s also a sentimental factor to
propagation. “You grow a plant under
your care, take a cutting and then pass it
on to someone else,” says Mollie Lee,
shop director at Little Leaf in D.C., which
sells cuttings for propagation.
Here’s how to use cuttings to repro-
duce your own plants at home, according
to plant experts.
Choose a plant
According to Maryah Greene, a plant
stylist and consultant and the founder of
Greene Piece, cutting works on many

common, easy-to-care-for houseplants,
such as pothos, monsteras, philoden-
drons, snake plants and ZZ plants.
But different plants require different
methods of cutting, says Paris Lalicata, MARVIN JOSEPH/THE WASHINGTON POST
plant education coordinator at the Sill.

For example, pothos, monsteras and
philodendrons can grow roots from their
stems. You can also propagate plants unkempt.) That way, you are improving Propagating and in them are hormones that promote
