I use to set all my leaves up in the clear plastic boxes. I started wikcing but got lazy and stopped in the end but if I got leaves and could not do them Hubby still wicked them ! We used 3 oz. solo cups sometimes 5 if 3 could not be fount. I tired other sizes but likes 3 best .
First winter couple years ago I had so many over 500 new leaves and some already rooting I filled two small greenhouses. Once the babies started coming up they'd get a VF-11 or fish drink what ever I had and they went on light stand close almost touching.
BUT being covered I fount was slow. They mostly sat there, healthy roots but no babies. So After months with some I opened taking tops off and they got air circulation, more light many boxes went on light stands and they needed more VF-11 food ( covered up they hardly ever needed a drink) well when they got oepned up they started growing babies crazy :))
Amytime I felt like potting up babies there were some there for me to play with !
Good NIght me too ! My CNA's are coming 8 Am for bed bath. Too early for Saturday morning hope we will be awake. HEHE :))
