Well you were right, I can grow babies!!! These are the ones who made it and have gave me babies, just waiting for Rob's Boondoggle to give me babies. This is soooo exciting!!
Allison, My frist babies!!!!
How long did it take, Laurie? I have had leaves set now since April 21, and I still don't see anything. sigh...
Don
P.S. congrats!
Hey Don, Thanks...I put them down on March 31 and had to repot them all about a month later, LOL after my cat tossed them on the floor.
I think the earliest is about 5 to 6 week. They can take as long as they take.
Way to go. I just had another baby pop up, yesterday. Sure is fun!
Wonderful babies Lauri! Congraulations !
Most leaves do take 4-6 weeks to root and even up to 16 weeks for babies
I have had some take less tiime and some take longer. I keep mine with Mom for a long time. Most I am trans-planting from Mom now were put down the end of Feb ...March maybe even some Aprils. BUT this is a good time of the year to grow babies !
I have had babies with Mom even 6-9 months before I felt them large enough. I do trans-plant them if it has been longer than 4 months or if they look like they are crowded . They love fresh soil/new pot/cup just like all Av's like trans-planting !
Don soon to begin July you shall start seeing babies ! They are forming under neath and when they start popping up they just kee on growing !
Congratulations, Lauri, on your adorable little babies. You're right, this *is* exciting! I just had my first baby pop up yesterday.

Violet ban " Rob' Says ~ We've found that plantlets can be removed from the mother leaf and individually potted anywhere from 3 to 5 months from the date the leaf was first put down. ~
I say this is so true and sometimes loger ~

I say most the time when you get a baby from me it has been cared for at least 9 months from the time I put the leaf down !
Congratulations, Lauri! Isn't it just great? They look beautiful...especially the little ones with variegation :)
Don, Hang in there. I thought the first leaves would never show up. I finally took many out of the soil and LOOKED, 'cause I couldn't stand it! Sure enough, I found roots on all and babies on some. Then I repotted them with frest soil and waited some more. But once the first leaves gives forth, all the rest can't be far behind!!
Awesome babies, Lauri!! Way to go!
Woo HOO Lauri, I'm doing the snoopy dance for you! Way to go!
congrats on your babies! isn't is great!!!! i just love watching them grow : )

Congratulations! I love seeing those babies just peeping thru the soil
Chin up, Don! You'll see babies soon! I put down my first leaves on January 13. From that batch alone - I saw my first babies 6 weeks to the day later, had a few more that just popped up last week and 3 or 4 Mom leaves that are still healthy as can be, but no babies yet. (I find it helps if you check on them less than 50 times per day! ROFL)
