Eucomis leaf cuttings

looking promising; what will happen if we get very cold weather?

Nowt - they're in the conservatory!!!

very wise.

It was a better result than I expected!

great result Meanie..

It certainly was!
I'm trying some leaf cuttings from my Beschorneria now............

that should be interesting virtually the same way as eucomis, put up a pic when they've rooted i'd like to see them.. good luck

Well done Meanie , if anyone can do it you can :o)

I have no idea what a Beschorneria grows from (bulb, tuber etc) SL, but as mine is strong and has plenty of leaves I thought what the heck!

Amy - if you have any give it a go next year!

It looks a good way to get more Homebird!

To be honest Meanie, i'm not that sure either i just remember my dad having these as cuttings in his greenhouse..def worth a try though,,

Worth a try as I broke the leaf off, so it was "scrap" anyway!

It's doing very well!

They are Delonix - a total of six shoots from three leaf cuttings have emerged so far..............

A M A Z I N G, Meanie. Well done!! I tried leaf cuttings once (begonia with spotted foliage) but nothing happened other than having rotten leaves lol.

One of the cuttings looks pretty rotten, but it is throwing up a shoot.

Maybe I should have given my rotten leaves some more time. I didn't think it would take a couple of months for them to have shoots and chucked them all after a week or two.

A week or two!!!!
You'll have to be much more patient than that!

I should have known better :o)
But I just didn't know~. Thanks for this photo Meanie, I've learned a new thing :-)

There's an update here..................
