Lameri -

at this point your leaves do not have roots so to keep them from wilting you need to create high humidity environment. If your outside air is humid - I guess depends how close you are to the Pacific - you are OK, you can mist them from time to time. If you are in dry zone, it easier to take them home and create a mini greenhouse - out of angel food cake container etc - but do not let the soil be too wet. No direct sunlight, especially outside.

Keep us posted.

I have good luck by cutting all the veins in the leaf with a razor blade,putting potting soil in a plastic saucer,put leaf on the soil with stem in the soil and back of leaf touching the soil.Slip a ziplock bag over the saucer and put in a light place.Takes about a month or so.Good luck

Have you tried to get the little tubers growing in a glass of water?

I have done that and it seems like they make the tuber pretty fast that way.

Thanks, guys, for your input.

I think the problem was the cold weather when I tried the previous times. Now I have four leaves in four separate pots still holding on happily since I planted them 2 months ago. Two were outside and two inside, to see if it made a difference. It didn't, so I put the two indoors ones outside a few days ago. I must say that the shape of the ones kept outdoors is a bit more irregular than the one of the other two (originally all were nicely shaped).

Do these plants attract bugs? I say that because even the inside ones always had some small flying bugs. They don't seem to bug them (pun intended!) :-)

Still doing good, yay!!

So almost 4 months after I planted the cut leaves, 3 are already growing leaves (the other one is not yet, but looks healthy), and one even has a tiny bud!

Now, my question is: to give strength to the little leaves, now that the new leaves have some nice size, I was thinking that I should cut the big leave. Is that a good idea?
Thanks!
