David: B. liniflora stem cutting/leaf experiment

[Cindy]

David, I just took a growth tip cutting because the plant is hitting the lights. For the stem cuttings you took, did they continue flowering? And did the flowers remain as large?

What I notice is that as the plant grows, the flowers get larger. Then they start becoming smaller as the plants age. Just wondering if it is an internal clock reset when the plant is repotted as a cutting.

It seems to me that it is an internal clock reset when the plant is re potted as a cutting. The vine continue to grow to as large as the original plant size, ie. the original plant from seed. It also flowers profusely. However, I did not actually noticed the flower size or compare the size from the seed grown plant and the cutting.

Thanks, David. Seems that it's time I try it out on my Byblis.

Let us know ya.

I trimmed off three growing tips so far. Each about 1.5" to 2" tall and pushed the cut end into LFS.

All three seems to be quite happy. I'll update again with photos later.
