I have this Smithicodonia Heartland's Joy that I took a little leaf and stem off of and stuck in some potting mix just to see if it would root. It is doing the weirdest thing!. On the back of the leaf (the spine I guess you would say, along the main vein) there are plantlets growing up the spine! I don't know if they are growing in the mix but they are growing up the back of the leaf. I didn't know if that was common or not? I actually didn't even know if it would root but it is certainly doing something:)
Can't post a picture yet as my camera is not good enough for something that small. Hopefully I will have some plantlets to share on our next round robin.

I thought you might like for everyone to see what she is going to look like.

I get tired of one family of plants in a hurry!!! "Scattered Brain" is the diagnosis ^_^
That sure is a cutie. I am going to have to add it to my list.
I don't know if he has anymore of them, but I bought a box from Gary Mikita (Out of Africa) which was a 'sussie' box. We had no idea what we would get........You might email him and ask if he still has a 'Heartland's Joy'.
