My carnosa was originally from a leaf off the mother plant. I potted 4 cuttings and left them in my mother's greenhouse for several months (heaven only knows what kind of attention they got in there!). One of them grew into the beautiful and huge plant that flowered for me the first time this year! However, I tried this out on a pinched compacta leaf, it grew roots but then it went yellow and died. So it didn't work (or crime doesn't pay after all!).
