Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Leaf rooting experiment, 1 by truongr

Ha ha! Hillbilly_gran and I think alike. I agree rather than wasting the leaves I went ahead and rooted them too. I was fortunate that I found a bottom trays with a divider. I am thus able to experiment two ways of rooting leaves. On the right, I am doing whole leaves in perlite. On the left I am doing the paper towel method, which I have no idea how to do. I just wetted the paper towel and placed some cut leaf wedges on top. I pretreated all the leaves thoroughly with Neem ( no more fuzz for me!).
I am adding bottom heat to the tray this time and will only water with bottled water, not tap. We'll see what happens...
So Hillbilly_gran, the next time we meet we can trade planlets instead of leaves!
Do post a pic of your paper towel method when you get a chance.
