Eucomis Leaf Cuttings (Eucomis comosa)

Back in October 2011 I started some Eucomis leaf cuttings - this is what they looked like today when I potted them up.

Probably not much quicker than from seed, but there are two advantages;

1] they will come true (this is a hybrid/natural selection)
2] I've never had any Eucomis seed germinate!!
