Two leaf cuttings were taken on 4 Jan. As of today, there are 18 plantlets from them. :-O

Buds were observed on 16 Jan. Three days later, some of the buds had developed into leaves and were about to unfurl.

Ten days later, the plantlets were of a good size to be tranplanted.

Some even have their own roots!

Plantlets with roots were removed and transplanted. The photos show significant growth in just 3 days .

thats very rapid,well done
 
That's awesome! Good job, and they look great.
 
Like!
 
thoses are like weeds they will grow from small pieces of root left when you transplant
 
Not only an impressive yield but very nice photo-documentation, Cindy. I feel inspired.
 
That was quick!

I like seeing a series of photos showing the progress of something like that.. thanks for sharing.
 
Nice photo sequence.
D. adelae is lots of fun to play with. It's so prolific that it's not a disaster if an experiment fails.

Those seedlings are sure taking off very nicely. I can tell they must be liking your conditions. :)
