I just discovered fungus gnats in the Multifida extrema pot. I'll have to repot them, and I'll take some root cuttings along the way.

I fed one of my spatulata seedlings a larvae from either a fruit fly or a fungus gnat.

But, I don't have time to go through every MM of soil searching for a larvae. I hate that stuff.

Should have what you are looking for in a month or 2. I'll do trading with leaf cuttings.

Seems like budding in soil is faster. Saves me some trouble too. :lol:

Do you use pots without drainage to keep them super wet or do you just have a high water level? I’ve never actually propagated any cuttings and would like to start. I have some cuttings that I got from a purchase recently that are currently just in water cause I figure it was the safest way since I’ve got no experience doing it. I’ve got 3 leaves I was thinking of putting one in soil to see what happens. And I’m about to take some cuttings off my capes just for experimentation.

Ewreck,
I think both works. I just Keep them in a container without drainage because it saves me some space.

Bill Phoenix,
The wide leaf is a root cutting.

Propagations going well. I'll have some things for giveaway in a few months.
