In May 1999 I planted 2 leaf cuttings in
peat blocks made for that purpose. During rhe next 10 months these leaves
maintained a perfectly healthy appearance [never withered]and in fact the
smaller one grew; I presume they had rooted but there was no sign of a
shoot. At the beginning April 2000 I put them under a UV lamp prolonging
daylight by 5 hours. On the sixth day one of the cuttings was throwing up a new
leaf--and at the end of the second week the other leaf had started joined in the
fun . It seems that a specific wave length improved the health
of the leaves
Has anybody investigated the effect of UV
light on cuttings in general?
