Title says it all - I've been trying to take leaf pullings from plants in the succulent state, but no luck so far. I noticed some tiny plantlets at the end of the leaf pulling, but they withered away not too long ago. Anyone have any other advice? Right now I'm putting the leaf pullings on dry turface near some HO T5s and not watering them. They're inside a plastic sauce container, and the lid has some holes poked in it. The temperature is around 85 day/ 72 night thanks to the lights.
I've done plenty of Mexican Ping leaf pullings in the past (mostly 'Weser') where I left them on some moist perlite/peat in a sealed plastic container, and it seemed to work well, but that was during the spring/summer, and it's in the 40s outside right now. I've also recently tried putting the leaf pullings in plastic bags in low-light conditions with no added water or humidity, as I'd read on a different forum, with no success. If anyone has any other successful strategies, especially with gypsicola, that'd be much appreciated.
