Add Your Opinion About This Plant   fish_4_all (51) wrote on Aug 04 2013 For leaf cuttings, a much higher success rate has been achieved by myself when leaving at least 1/4 inch of stem on both sides of the leaf. Any attempts I have made to get a leaf cut from the stem have not taken root and died in short order. I like this opinion Note: please don't use this box to post questions, you can do that on our forums instead.
