I am curious, Laura. Did one of those links suggest just perlite for propagating them? I use 1/2 perlite and 1/2 vermiculite for avs, but I use both ways for chirita leaves..........meaning they really root faster in a light soil less mix.

These are chirita leaves on their 2nd sticking. They produced big babies and I just stuck them about 3 weeks ago because the mother leaves had good roots.............

I should have had time in a few months to make a lot of chirita babies..........(I have one tray of babies already but going for a second production)

I do believe the mother leaves are tired and ready to give up having babies in such a short time (LOL) in this soil less mix.
