An accidental one from me, the crown of this H. attenuata cultivar has rotted for reasons unknown to me, but the plant threw, I think, 4 new shoots (one's at the back) and has been happily growing like that for the past half a year or so.

Re: Todays photo
Following the theme of 'beheading' plants to encourage propagation, here is my example from my Propagation Talk of the best way to propagate Gasteria rawlinsonii, notoriously difficult to propagate from just leaves:

Tony, how large was the "head" to safely root it afterwards? I need to attack my G. rawlinsonii and get some backup plants.

Re: Todays photo
The total arm was about 20 leaves, which I cut into 4 sections each with 5 leaves; the "head" and the 3 other sections all rooted perfectly.
