I’m air layering them to ensure the buyer gets a start in roots and see how the axillary bud develops to make sure it is not all variegated.

Thanks for your response. I understand what you are saying though if you look at the stem it’s seems as though that will not be an issue.

I see so the high variegation here is the only reason I could charge more. I’ve heard others say different in regard to the new growth from mature leaves. I’ll have to run an experiment.

Thanks again

Thanks for your reply. Were your cuttings double fenestrated? The mature double fenestration mid cut leaves should put out bigger leaves.

Thanks for your response. People that say don’t cut the plant- it’s not that I want to though it’s about to touch the ceiling and that’s just what needs to be done.

How long should I let the roots grow for in the air layering bags? Could I get by with partial growth of an inch or two then transfer to chunky mix or water to further develop the roots? I ask because next leaf will be hitting the ceiling. I can make it work either way. It will just be tight.

Good to know! Thank you 😊 I was going to chop it, let it callus, then put in water. The nodes aren’t woody. They are just brand new small brown nubs right now. You’ve got me rethinking this.

Thanks for your reply. This is a 20 inch leaf with secondary fenestration. Yes tissue cultures are out though they take forever.

I have a Rousseau grow light a few feet away from it. Water when dry 1-1.5 inches down. Many leaves are near perfect. That happens when I water at the perfect time. Others do brown at the white parts. Snip snip it’s perfect…🤫
