This second
method is useful if several plants are wanted. The leaf being used as
the cutting should be cut transversely into several pieces, each about
5cm (2 in.) in length (as shown above). The number obtained from one
leaf will obviously depend on the size of the chosen leaf. Make sure
the leaf sections are planted the correct way up, i.e. place the basal
end, which was the point of attachment, in the compost.
Instead of using
pots, a propagating cell pack divided into a number of sections can
be used, putting a piece of leaf in each cell. See next
page.
