Tim, my situation was a leaf fell near the plant, and stayed there, next thing I notice it is growing roots, then after a while it grew a little ball at the same end where the roots were growing, this ball was a small rosette...The next time I just placed another leaf in the same place, making sure a bit of the end was in the chicken grit, it did the same thing, rooting and then growing a rosette I tip my hat to you.


That's quite surprising in light of the internet results I found claiming it to be impossible. You weren't even trying and it just happened. I asked the MCG folks if they did this and they said no and seemed (to me) puzzled at the very idea. Maybe this would be more common if semps didn't so readily produce offsets.
