Two leaf cuttings were taken on 4 Jan. As of today, there are a total of 18 plantlets from them. :wub:/>

Buds were observed on 16 Jan. Three days later, some of the buds had developed into leaves and were about to unfurl.

Ten days later, the plantlets were of a good size to be tranplanted.

Some even have their own roots!

Plantlets with roots were removed and transplanted. The photos show significant growth in just 3 days .

Thanks Cindy for sharing, last time I took one leaf from you during your talk years back, the soaking in water method, it did have some growth, but I fail to harden them when I transpant them, will try again when leaf available.
