Just use a sharp hobby knife to cut it off, getting both leaves at once, and set it gently on some moist AV mix. Bag it and keep it out of direct sunlight.

I keep mine bagged for about a month, or when they begin to grow. Then gradually remove the bag and viola! A whole new plant.

Thanks Montezuma, I'll give it a try.

i was just about to start a post on this very topic. is there a specific purpose for bagging it?

To keep the humidity high around the new plant. It doesn't have roots to draw in moisture yet, so it needs higher than normal humidity to get established before it dries out. Be sure that the leaves don't touch the bag. Condensation from the plastic could cause the plantling to rot.

You could also use a fish bowl, cake plate cover, clear tupperware, etc... to keep the moisture higher. I use rigid containers so that I don't have to worry about the bag falling in.

Good luck!

Hi,
Rather than zip lock bags I have found some covered plastic ice cream cups in a local restaurant supply house which work well for me.

This is more FUN! Go to the Dairy Queen and get a "Hot Fudge Sundae" to go and them keep the cup and lid. They make great mini greenhouses for AV leaves. Have been doing it for a few years.

What is a sucker, I know, but not on an AV what does it look like. should it be removed?
