Here's a photo of two leaves from the same plant that I potted up on Sept 2nd ... they are just now showing those little "ears" (babies) coming up in the soil.

edited to say: The one on the left is in regular potting soil ... the one on the right I experimented with planting in straight vermiculite. You can see the one on the left has more babies and they are larger.
