The first leaves I put down were from my standard NOID. I did everything wrong...wrong soil, wrong size of container, damaged leaf to begin with! This was BDG...Before Daves Garden. So I went to toss them (Allison said sick leaves don't make healthy babies) and saw this one was making babies. I put in back into better mix and now LOOK! It happened!!! Hooray!!!

I've been encouraged by Jesse's experiment, too. Seems like no harm in transplanting during the process...so I got those leaves out of the vermiculite mix (have lost three to rot) and repotted in about 70% perlite, 30%MG. Maybe it's like other transplanting and gives it kind of a boost !?? Never know....

Just had to share. Can't wait for my named leaves to start making babies, too!!!!!!!
