Cut price love

Post by Jim_Mercer »

They had a lot of these leaves last week in Tesco, a few left today with yellow sticker. I don't suppose I will be lucky and have one with enough stem to grow but at 38p instead of £3 it has to be worth trying...

My daughter used to have one for many years. It never grew a proper plant.

It has taken me around 3 years for the stem to grow. Leaves followed. Now I seem to be slowly killing it after repotting :???:

I have read that unless a sliver of the stem accompanied the leaf cutting, it will be unlikely that a vine will appear. Cheers.
