| Hi, novice question here: I have two new scented-leaf plants that are quite small. I recently took a leaf cutting from my begonia, and without thinking, did the same for the geraniums, rooting hormone and everything. There's not a hope in hell, is there? There's no node on the cutting, just the leaf and a long petiole... |

| Oh booger. But thanks for the info! I'm so freaked out by the Do Not Contaminate The Water Supply warnings on the rooting hormone jar that I think I'll just let the leaves sit around for a while till my courage returns and I can toss them out. |

| if truely interested search on In-vitro system of micropropagation ...Tissue Culture. I have experienced reasonable success with calloused, un-rooted vegetative cuttings and rooting them under intermittent mist at a soil temp of 72F. |
