Re: [Fwd: (no subject)]


I just bought a book called Making More Plants: The Science, Art & Joy of Propagation by Ken Druse.

It covers the method you are asking about and what plants you can apply the method to.  It also has excellent photos and illustrations.  It's not an academic or theoretical publication but it's very instructive.

Can roots grow from a plants leaves? Please answer back tomorrow. Can you give
me a web site to look at? Thank you

        Frank is a very busy commercial grower so he forwards questions like this to me and I try to find the answers.
        I know that certain plants can be propagated from the leaves, for instance, African Violets. I don't think there is any general rule about what plants will and which won't. In the African Violet case, you can take a leaf, cut a vein and place the cut in contact with moist soil and it will root. Many succulents grow from their leaves.
        I'm going to put your questions and address on a Mediterranean list that I think has experts which can help you.

        OK, mediteers! can you help this person?                ---Chas---
