Here's the temporary living situation of my Callisia fragrans.

And here's what's left in the pot.

Sorry that happened! I would stick the main stem back in the pot, confident it should take root. For the side stems, stolons, I've not tried to propagate any that way, always waited until the pup at the end had root nubs, then sit those on the surface. Hopefully someone who has tried doing something with those before they have developed to that point will pop by and enlighten us both. IDK if the length of the stolon can develop roots or not. Probably.

Do any of the pups have root nubs on them? You can see them in this pic, at the bottom of each bend in the stem where the pup flares out from the stolon. On the left, one had been in contact with soil and has 2 roots with some dirt stuck to them.

Thanks! I'll stick the main stalk into a pot with soil, then. Most of the stolons were pretty long and had root nubs, so hopefully they root. Although I still need to know if they should be in soil or stay in water, though.

Hopefully someone else who has more experience in this lets us know how to propagate the Callisia fragrans properly. I'm also still curious about the part of the main stalk that's still in the original pot. The root system is in there, so maybe it'll grow back? I have no idea.

Last year Purp sent me a chunk of the stuff,and sadly I managed to kill all of it...or so I thought.

As it turns out there was a little section of a stolon that I'd dropped in a terrarium and although it's all green for having been inside where light isn't at a premium,it's put on new growth.

Edited to say,Purp,..if you're still around I need to know if you'll be around the house long enough that I know it's safe to send that box back your way.

Tried to reach you through email but you haven't responded.
So happy I didn't manage to kill it all.

I lost a lot of stuff that had to go outside too early this year before it was really warm enough.

I'm under the impression that any part with a node on it will root if in a humidity trap of some sort or another.

Up here it's threatening to get down into the fifties in the next few days. I'll never get used to that,will I?

Stolons with stolons is neat...I can see that as a groundcover almost.

Speaking of groundcovers,do you have any ajuga reptans?

Feel free to remind me what you were capable of replacing for me as I may have forgotten some of what went the way of the worm.

You're the best! :)

Seems like everybody's confused about this plant LOL however it is one of my favorites. It seems that I just keepng taking these guys and putting them in other plants and growing bigger ones from them. However I thought I would just let this one grow and see what it does.. Will it continue to survisurvivesurvsurvive

Yes, it looks good. If it gets some direct sun this winter, the mama part could bloom. That is the primary appeal of this plant. Best luck!
