Earlier shot, when it was first rooting.

Bringing this back up, hoping Norma will see it.

Though it unliklely, but works fine.

I have a very large leaf of a S. masoniana about 7" across rooted in water with 7 off shoots, now I am waiting to see if any will be varietated like it's mother. Pirate Girl I am so glad to see you are experimenting. Good for you, this is the reason I spent so much time with you to get your started for your first program, I remember you saying that you only had 7-12 plants at that time, you used public transportation to get them to the meeting, and were asking me a lot of questions, I always had faith in you. Thanks for posting, it is refreshing. Norma

Sure, my pleasure to post those pix. I was hoping you'd see them & enjoy. I'm still so stunned that this works rather than rotting -- aren't you?

Yes, Norma back then I prob had 7-12 Sans (not 7-12 Plants, I still had the Hoyas then & remember talking w/ you about them too). I remember well how helpful you were (& Jeff too) in coaching me to prepare for my Sans. talk.

I prob stll have 7-12 Sans. tho' different ones now.

Pirategirl - did you just stick the broken end in a cup of water? can it be that easy???

Hi Zzini,

Yes, it really was JUST that simple. Not deep water, maybe just a inch on the very bottom & adding to it as necessary. I expected it to rot before it rooted, so it was a great & pleasant surprise.

Once I saw it was rooting, I added a few bits of charcoal chips to the water to prevent algae (aquarium grade charcoal from pet shops).

Give it a shot!!
