Hahaha... congratulations. :1thumbup: It would be almost 100% success if the leaf you pulled come with roots attached.
Almost every part of the VFT could be used for propagation, I have successfully propagated with a stem, a flower stalk and even with a trap! But leaf pulling still the easiest way to propagate. Keep up the job! :1thumbup:

Thanks for the information. Just a little update on my little experiment.
(2) The leaf pulling with rhizome only is also starting to have little VFT growing as well (about 1mm size). :biggrin:

(3) Healthy leaf pulling with minimum rhizome seems to just rot away (no growth):(. But will just leave it alone .

Maybe because my leaf pulling is place under direct sun (same location as Mother plant) is causing it to rot too fast before it could generate baby VFT.

My flower stalk is still green with no baby even after 1-2 week

My guess is it should take more than one month to at least show some growth. Just keep it moist and hope it does not rot too fast. Patience is the key here.

Its not even rotting. It still as green as when I cut it.

Even if the top half of the flower stalk cutting goes black, leave it. The cutting will, quite often, still produce a new plant.
