Default Leaf Pulling Propagation

I tried VFT propagation using leaf pulling recently.

1) Uproot the mother plant.

2) Take leaves till the tip of rhizome.

3) Place in shallow LSF with mostly closed lid for high humidity. Box is placed in bright indirect sunlight.

Then... long waiting. After 5.5 weeks, a plantlet emerges.

50% success rate this round. It is the leaf that stays closer to the box opening producing plantlet. The other leaf rotted away, probably too wet.

Hi Tan,

May i know is there any a necessary media i need to place them on ?
Currently i let them seat on top of a layer of peat moss, below are sphagnum moss.

I was placing them in a flower pot too, but doesn't cover them to gain higher humidity, i just place it together with my other plant, will that work too? or its work better if i have something to cover most of it up, to boost up the humidity?

Also, may i know does it necessary to bury the while part of the leaf into the media ?

I have only experience with Sphagnum moss, so can't say about the best medium to use.

Not necessary to bury the whole part of the plant, usually you bury a bit of the base (white) part but ideally not the whole base. You can put some medium on the other parts of the leaf, but that is just to keep it close to the surface, they tend to die off eventually anyway, it is the base part that stays longer and grows a plantlet.

I have had plantlets grow on a cutting without a cover, but we tend to like the cover for humidity, unless you have problems with molds and maybe algae, then try one without cover and one with cover.

TTFN
