Gardening Flowers & Vegetables : How to Propagate From Leaf Cuttings

To propagate from leaf cuttings, snip the leaf right where it meets the stem, cut the leaf at an angle, and plant it back in the soil to start a new plant. Use honey as a natural root toner with information from a sustainable gardener in this free video on gardening.

Well , I did exacly what was instructed to do in the video , but unfortunately plently of light, right amounts of water just didnt seem to help them. They lasted longer than if you were to take a normal cutting but even though they started to develop roots they werent strong enough , but it wont put me off trying again next summer. :)

My friend's got a really smart jack russel. We tried this with his leg about two weeks ago but i don't think it's working, plus the original dog seems to be sick. Do you think this may be because we only used a teaspoon of honey?

Is this plant an ivy? Ivy is easy to propagation.

Just a random thought, but maple syrup doesn't have the antifungal properties of honey.

You can propagate blueberries by stem cuttings, but you'd need a serious root hormone, not honey, lol.

Lucky Bamboo need a stem cutting, you have to include a node.

What a silly video, she should at least try to give a small list of plants that CAN be grown from cuttings.

Though she clearly doesn't know herself, because she's trying to propagate a pothos from a leaf cutting... silly lady, pothos need a node, that's a stem cutting.

:/ These videos are very mediocre, I just watched one about Lupines... But she was working with a Columbine...

Not very helpful.

I think that may be a good idea , just remember to keep them well ventilated , my tomatoe cuttings failed but my type of tomatoe plant isnt very hardy so I think that was a factor in why they didnt survive. But im sure this method works for other cuttings of plants . :)
