| I've had AV before... but just let them run their course... I never tried propogating from leaves or pruning, etc. until now.
I've done lots of reading about suckers - growing new plants from them - and the need to remove them from mama plants. It would be extremely helpful if people could take photos before/after sucker removal so the newbies could see what to look for! Also - anyone have any tips? This is my Optimara Annabelle plant. There's so much "going on" in it, I feel like there must be a sucker or three!

| I don't have photos but I have personal experience. I had a sucker plant. I didn't have time to do anything. After a few months, I simple saw two plants 1/2" apart in the same small pot. I cut the dirty in between. I had two rather large plants in no time. To be honest, I like suckers - a faster way to propagate. |

| sounds simple! my above plant just looks so crowded and complicated, I'm not sure what is what... I have to examine it! But it sounds like your sucker plant kind of grew NEXT to instead of ON or IN the mama plant... |

| Ruby, at first, my sucker plant is on/in the mama plant. But as time passes by, they separate further and further apart. Just let it be. When they are ready for you to devide, you will see. |
