I repotted a very old spearhead the other day and lost a ton of leaves. I let them callous over for about three days. I sprayed this soil so it was just moist. I dipped the ends in rooting powder and stuck them in there. Should I put the cover on or not? TIA

If you feel like it would be better safe then sorry then for sure I would use a covering!

Thanks. I've never successfully propagated a leaf.
