Propagating Adromischus with a leaf

Image
I think I've already told you about the Adromischus marianae v. herrei 'green form' I purchased back in November. These plants have very fragile leaves and mine arrived with two leaves broken off. Knowing that it is possible to propagate them with only their leaves I've stuck the leaves into a  pot with Faucaria cuttings. I was watering the pot a little but almost every day since then (I think Faucarias surprisingly liked it very much!) and even though I could tell from the leaves' reaction to water that they already had roots for a long time the new growth started showing only now. Adromischus really do take their sweet time. Good thing I am so patient with plants ;) Sorry for the lack of posts. I'm waiting for the sun to come out and shine on my windowsill to take some good pictures. It is still not the case, the weather is cold and gloomy all the time.

Update on L. aucampiae seedlings

Removed the rests of old leaves and here they are, their shiny new faces :) They are small but already look just like their parents , don't you think?

Gracilidelineata seedlings first to regenerate (5 pics)

My 2009 L. gracilidelineata seedlings are first to fully show their new faces this year. They looks so fresh and spotless. Since it is still dark outside I am not watering them and luckily they seem to be in a stasis for now, also waiting for the spring.
