Hello! I’m seeking advice for these cuttings I got in addition to the plants I ordered from botanicaz on Etsy. They came within a week in good health and packaged very very well, I am so happy with them! I was getting worried reading about the delays and lack of custom service in the past, but it worked out great for me, I even ordered a mom for the bumpy leaf cutting (115 v.5) because it was so beautiful and I’m not sure I’ll be able to grow babies from the leaf. The smoother leaf on the right is botanicaz 17 btw.
Which is my main question, is there any recommendations on how I can keep the conditions perfect for these leaves so they grow baby plants?
My current setup is as shown, I got 2 of each leafs and bent the veins on one and cut up the other for each set.
-The humidity stays 95+
-The temp is 70-80 f
-Light: I started out with 500fc the day after unboxing, slowly moved up to 700fc over the past 3 days, and am planning on giving them 1000fc in another week.
How are yall keeping the soil wet? The soil is just a chunky tropical substrate, I noticed it’s dry under the leaves is that a problem? I’ve avoided
I misted thoroughly the first couple days then read that leaving water droplets can cause problems, so now I mist morning and night with just a few sprays, for keeping the substrate wet I’ve been using a dropper to water the soil around the leaves.
I feel like I am doing something wrong. And appreciate any advice or criticism. I really want to grow these babies from leaves!
-17 leaf has some mini white hairs growing out on some red bumps which I’m hopeful are growths!
-115 just has scabs over the wounds
Thanks for your time
