That's so awesome!

oooh, super cool! do you need to have a node with these guys, or just a leaf cutting??

#### Stephanie replied on 2025-03-12

Just the leaf. I broke a few of the veins too and put the stem in the soil and pressed the broken parts into the soil too and that is where it should root and start growing too

thank you!!

Good luck if you decide to try it. It can take up to 2 months to start
