Re: D. adelae leaf cutting experiment
 

No you don't need to immersed the leaves in water to produce plants. You can do leaf cutting on the surface of peat/ sand mix. Also you can do root cutting with species such as binata, capensis.

Re: D. adelae leaf cutting experiment
 

So you also have to hack them into pieces?

Re: D. adelae leaf cutting experiment
 

If the leaf or the root is long enough, yes you can hack them in about 3" pieces. I do this with both filiformis subspecies.

Ok thanks for the info Khoas, I will try it with my plant *biggrin2*

Re: D. adelae leaf cutting experiment
 

I have some Adelae and Capensis leaves on a 50/50 mix of perlite and peat. So far I see little action after almost 4 weeks in a clear prop container.

Looks like I'll try it in LFS next. thanks for the experiment! Interesting!

Re: D. adelae leaf cutting experiment
 

Sigh.. the Adelae leaf that i propagated out already dried out without sprouting any new plantlet, im using a layer of spagnum moss, then a thin layer of peat moss

Re: D. adelae leaf cutting experiment
 

Did you cover the pot to increase huminity?

Re: D. adelae leaf cutting experiment
 

No, Adelae does not and Neither does Capensis by MY findings.

Re: D. adelae leaf cutting experiment
 

Oops.. i didn't. I thought the environment was humid enough.*biggrin2*
Anyway, thanks for the reminder, gonna pluck 1 more leaf to try again.

Thanks
