Thanks to h2o for the specimens... Welp as the title suggests. Im using a 1:1:1 peat:perlite:silica sand mix with a twin 32 watt 'plant light' fluorescent fixture as lighting. Found these fantastic little pots at the dollar barn. Little adjustable vents at the top for humidity control. 2$ for 3 ... Using wilsons rooting hormone on just the white tip of the leaf I pressed them gently down on the soil. Covering just the tip, leaving the topside exposed and the rest of the leaf making contact with my substrate. Temps around 20ish, 12 hr photoperiod with humidity in the 90's Attachments:

I'm curious as to how exactly to do this. I have several larger cephs that could easily be propagated...... I will be watching and hopefully learning lol.....

I'm not sure about the rooting hormone. I've had very spotty results with it. Probably not harmful but likely not needed for ceph's.

Some biocides can be plant toxic. Generally CP cuttings seem not to need them.

Some biocides can be plant toxic. Generally CP cuttings seem not to need them. This may indeed be why I have had trouble getting my pullings to take..... I'll try it without anything and see what happens

Nice setup nolan, im pretty sure you will have a new lil plant in a couple weeks. IMHO rooting hormones are useless. I use it with my nep cuttings only. Here my last cuttings, you can see all the lil guys around a perlite piece. And another one with a single lil leaf emerging. Sorry for the bad picture quality. Cephalotus leaves cuttings. by dals009, on Flickr Usualy i just pull a leaf and put it on the soil next to the mother plant. The rooting occur there and no need to repot the plant.

I know these(ceph's) can comeback from the roots but how long do they need to regrow?
