Our winters are very short and not very cold.It's been in the mid 70's - low 80's during the day & 50's at night.I still have plants outside blooming.Since the leaves i'm propagating don't need a lot of light while waiting on roots to grow,there's no problem keeping them in the house.By the time they will need light they will most likely be back outside.

These were put into this pot in August & now are under grow lights.I lightly mist them about every 2 weeks not getting to much water on the original leaf.Only 1 leaf has softened & is getting mushy,it never grew roots very well.

I am hoping when you click this picture to blow it up, you will be able to see there is at least 2 leaves that have new growth.I put them 2 in this pot about a month ago.This pot is what i used all summer to put leaves i knocked off while re-potting,plants that were broken in half when young or the tops broke out of etc... You can see all the different size plants,some ready for their own pots.These are plants from as long ago as last spring to a month ago.

I have a place outside that i re-pot my plants,i have a habit of dropping leaves on the ground to one end of the table.Last week-end while clean the yard i found 6 succulent leaves i had dropped onto the ground had rooted and had new growth on them. Shrug! I guess you never know what's possible until you try!!

Have a nice day
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
