So I got this sacrificial lamb VFT at the local garden center. I wanted to try my hand at leaf cuttings. The first try was a resounding failure
However, I have now altered my medium a little, and a few other things...
So I tore up the rest of the VFT (the mother plant was doing just fine). I litterally tore the WHOLE thing appart. One of the leaves I am attempting to root is not a mature leaf, the trap is still completely immature (still folded back over the petiole). The odd thing is, when I placed it on the rooting medium, it sort of turned upside down (no problem, I just left it). I went back to check it a few days later, and the darn thing was arched straight up into the air, like it was trying to grow towards the light!
Has anyone had a cutting do this before?
