I heard that the best of both - is to start roots in water - watch when they start emerging - and move a leaf to soil.

And that's exactly what I've been doing.

You are a Genius!

I am curious to see your water rooting set up, do you use saran wrap to support the leaf, with just the stem in the water?

Another trick - if you have plants on a deli reservoirs and wicks - you sometimes develop green water - use it for rooting - it is full of growth hormons from algae.

Kim - I think you got the right idea.

Thanks Irina. Interesting on the algae bit, I am forever battling green water with my sundew trays. May as well make it work for me!

Kim, what I do is stretch a piece of aluminum foil across the container, and punch a hole in it to insert the petiole. Make sure the hole is just barely large enough for the petiole because if its too big the leaf will tilt.
