better yet, I want to send you one of these plants the mother gave me....I need to be sure that it roots well before shipping it out.
Allison told me that it is good the leaves are green as when you propagate a variegated leafed AV, you stand a better chance of good variegation by putting down the greenest leaf you can find on the plant....
I still have 2/3 of the minis to pot up....too tired today....but I may get more double and triples.
Then later, when all get potted up, I am going to put down leaves.
Lin, I had 3 successful leaves from the annabelle you gave me...I am going to run in and take a picture for you right this minute. Look carefully for the babies down at the base of the mother leaf.
