Here is an unstable plant that has some nice leaves that I'm zumberizing.
1st photo is the plant
2nd leaves cut off
3rd razor cuts
4th potted
5th covering roots.
This plant has some nice leaves if I could capture them.
IÂve cut off those leaves to force new eyes to appear.
You should be able to see the dormant eyes.
A more precise method would be to strip down those petioles.
Then make cuts on either side of the dormant eye.
This shows the razor cuts down through the petiole just to the crown.
It is easy to tell when you reach the crown,
the cut will be easy then when you come to the crown you will feel resistance.
IÂm potting in a milk jug so I can see the water level easily.
Wish I had a taller clear plastic container, but this should work.
IÂve covered the roots with volcanic rock to avoid competition with soil organisms that may attack the cuts.
It is not all that necessary but I donÂt want this one to go bad
since IÂm out front with the process.
