LEAF CUTTINGS

hi all,
I have a 5-month-old dente VFT. What age/when can/do I take a leaf cuttings? How old does a plant have to be to flower?               Thanks in advance,
                            Lithopsman
P.S. sorry about the title, I didn't realize the caps until i clicked add post

you can take leafs cuttings whenever but it will also hurt the plant since even if it doesnt eat it could have done its thang as a leaf
 
i just remembered, the rhizome isn't 5 mon.s old, just the plant. I got it from pft in March, and trimmed it back, and it has all new growth. It was a bulb, so whoever old those are plus 5 months.

Hey Lithopsman

As far as I know you can take a leaf cutting now.

Also I believe the plants have to be about 3 maybe 4 years old to flower. I could be wrong though

Hey when you trimmed it back in March, you should have planted the leaves you trimmed off, if I am understanding you correctly.
