Yippee Pam ! Ans WOW you have Silver Wings one of my favorite Vintage plants babies WOW . They look great. Just keep the leaves/babies warm, give them as much light as you can. I use tiny bits of warm/hot water and I feed mine also.
All the little babies are forming underneath and once they come up watch out there''s no stopping them.
It is best to cut stem short . One inch or less. Then I push mine into the soil until the leaf touches. I foount the shorter the stem the faster I get babies. ! Some leaves take longer there is always an average but then again there are ones that can take 6-9 months to see babies. Sometime I re-pot them. But keep as long as they are healthy !
Keep up the good work !
Silver Wings (6005) 06/17/1985 (S. Sorano) Double white star. Dark green, plain/red back. Large
" Lali really took the best picture ! It was blooming for about a month before she came and still blooming today " I love it :))
The flowers are breath taking and large.
