While it's not completely clear that you're using root cutting for D. binata - if so - you should consider leaf cuttings in water.

You're correct on the D. binata. I've done it both ways. For simplicity, strike rate and the number of plants produced with each method - the leaves in distilled water wins easily. If you haven't followed the link in my upper post - do it and be amazed. That number of plants is not an exception.[b said:Quote[/b] (Jason Wong @ Oct. 15 2005,9:29)]D. binata spread readily from leaves and roots. I remember someone saying that spats can do it from roots, but don't know about intermedia.
