Petiolaris complex plants - manual division

[bluemax]

Congrats on your successes, Cindy. Do you think the ordensis leaf that took had any of the main part of the plant, as in a pulling, or was it just a lamina and petiole? I'm thinking I will try working with live sphagnum, too!

Jimscott - what species is that?

Hi mark,

I remember the leaf as one that fell off when I cut the plant into two. I did not pay attention if it had any part of the main plant...all I did was to poke it into the live sphagnum moss. The other one that came off was the furry growth tip and that grew quite a bit...eventually it stopped and turned brown.

The other half of the ordensis is doing so well that it now has it own root!




And since it will get crowded next to its twin...I have given it a beautiful new home.

Very cool, Cindy. And nicely shot.

The first ordensis cut into two. Before (top) and now (bottom)


One loose leaf from the cut that sprouted a new plantlet!


The second ordensis that I cut into two, just last weekend.
