Will this damaged leaf still propagate??

8 years ago

Last night my hamster chomped down on my favorite leaf that I was propagating. I got it while on vacation and have no way of getting another one. Will this leaf make it, despite the damage?? The roots already look dryer than last night...

Hard to tell, keep it planted. It is best not to keep taking it out of the mix - I am sure hamster didn't ask ! :)

Are you watering it ? - since there are roots, it should be watered now.

Thank you, Rina! I have not been watering it, the leaf was so plump, I figured I'd wait a long time still. Do you think I should water it now, then?

Yes, leaf is plump. I usually do not water for a while. But it may dry up faster since I has been chomped on. Light watering shouldn't hurt if the roots are OK - they look like it. Just don't overwater. I think it will survive - positive thinking :)

Do you know what is the plant?

I don't! I'll have to ask for help if it grows up. Here's hoping!
