Leaf-bud Cuttings

Leaf-bud cuttings (Figure 2) provide an excellent means of propagating many vine-type foliage plants such as heart-leaf philodendron, devil's ivy and grape ivy and can be used for large-leaved plants like rubber plant. Single-eye cuttings are taken from plants with alternate leaves and have only one leaf and one axillary bud per cutting. Double-eye cuttings are taken from plants with opposite leaves, and have two leaves and buds per cutting. A leaf-bud cutting need not consist of a complete stem section. With rubber plant, a leaf and small section of stem tissue are usually taken; cuttings of this type are sometimes refereed to as "heel cuttings."
