Last pic is the parent. It took a year and a half for them to sprout. 🥲 If anyone can share their experience with leaf propagations that was quicker, please do share!
These two Atrofusca mutants were leaf props, I think they are around two years old. Surprisingly they grew at very different rates even though they received the same conditions, watering, and light. Pretty sure I used some rooting hormone powder on the leaves as soon as they were pulled, then placed them in soil with watering very rarely to encourage root growth. This was one of my first attempts at leaf propping, and I’m still very scared to do it lol

So fun!! I’ve always had a pretty bad strike rate with leaf pullings. Dunno why.

Mist the pots with a spray bottle. Gerhard Marx has a good video about it. [Gerhard Marx on leaf prop](https://youtu.be/zNsRsi4GHmc?si=DfinB_MnBFZrPWuw)
