Re: Plantlet production on Schismatoglottis shaleicola

Jim,
The plantlets occur mainly in association with the finest veins which the succulence of the blade tissue tends to obscure. Plantlets occur on either surface of the blade although mainly on the lower. In nature the plantlets attain the three rudimentary leaf stage and then sit until the leaf blade drops. Once this happens the plantlets resume growth by producing numerous roots and a series of increasingly larger leaves.

Dear Peter,

This is quite startling. Are these plantlets spontaneous? Do they form in specific spots such as insect or physical damage? I see they are not on the ribs or veins as might be expected.

When do these drop off?

Do they continue to grow or develop and then stop, on ‘hold’ until the leaf drops or decays?

So many odd things happening here. Thanks Jim W.
