I was so crushed last fall when I ordered 20 plants and perhaps 5 kept their leaves. I tried doing some wedge leaf rooting in perlite but all the wedges dried out or got PM. I really thought I lost the other 15 plants but then it happened.
One huge leaf rooted! Yeah! Many of the other rhizomes started growing mini leaves too.
Anyone else care to share their success stories? Do people treat the leaves to be rooted with neem or another antifungal before they place the leaves on the growth medium?
