"Feed me, Seymore!"

HEY! Cut that out! :)

if it were me, i wouldn't do anything until the babies got much bigger. then i would worry about seperating.

So they're not in imminent danger of croaking? The plantlets look healthy to me but I have no idea how long they can grow like this.

Cynthia -

I think you can keep it for another 3 weeks - and while separating the rest of them - slice the mama's boy of its seat - and root it in a solo cup in a baggie.

I just noticed that one of my leaves is doing the same thing. It must not be all that uncommon. I'm glad I saw this post over the weekend.

When the little plantlets get a little bigger, you will just treat like a sucker, cut it loose and put it down to root, just like you did the leaf. Since you can't put it down in the dirt as far as you did the leaf, you might want to use a couple toothpicks or plant labels to put between the leaves of the little plantlet to hold it up while it's rooting.

Irina, you crack me up. I will forever think of a baby starting on the leaf as a "mama's boy".
