Well a week away and my AV's did play! Look at the roots that took off while on vacation. I guess all I had to do was stop watching them and they took off.

These were laid down on the 2nd or 8th of Feb. Others that I didn't photograph had roots and I put them down on 2/26. So that's pretty quick.

Most of you know that the method that I've found that works for now is the perlite in the tray until they root method. Then I pot the leaves up in their own little dixie cups.

Lots of these already have babies started at the root level.
