I really don't want to experiment with other leaves (can you imagine how many plants I'll end up with from this tray?) so I hope someone else will try this and report back. Again, this is what I did: - cut the tip off the leaf - cut the stem under water - keep it short - potting mix is only 1" deep or less (1:1:1 perlite, peat, vermiculite), moist not wet - lid on the deli container with a few tiny holes for ventilation - 70-75F - first week, almost no light - day 8 onwards: low indirect light (about 12 inches from 2 tubes of fluorescents) |
