They do need light-- not a lot however! Because the sides of the container are clear the plants are getting plenty of light. But the lid does look more opaque then it really is!

BTW- Your welcome

Did they just not grow? MOLD? I have started them just by putting the leaf that I cut back to the soil or base of plant and put in a little bit of water....Please let me know how you are losing them. If you want I have a few web address if you would like that might help you.

Thanks Much for this demonstration.

I have been attempting to propagate leaves under florescent lights (no luck yet)

I noticed that you used a cover that appears to block light. Do the leaves need light to produce plants?

Thanks
