^ Looking good! What variety are they? And how long potted up until they kick off? 

 

Stuff I've rooted in water seems to root well in sphagnum moss as well, only the roots seem tougher and better adapted for soil than do water-roots. 

 

Any reason why laying the leaf segment flat on potted media (e.g. soil) wouldn't also work? That's a traditional method of cloning from a single leaf. Actually, I think you can get 2 plants from a single leaf that way. Depends on the species I think. Cloning from a single leaf doesn't work for all plants -- e.g. a certain Salvia, which grows roots but nothing further, in my experience.

 

 

I think planting direct on soil would work with good results, but was my first attempt with the leafs I get as a gift, so I tried to lose as minimum as possible... 

 

Now I have many little bush's , so next time will be direct on soil, on a umid and shady area

Hello all, 
i got like 50 leafs , and tried a tek  ...
left in water for a month until the roots got big, and after planted in pots 
got nice results, and only lost one , that got brown and dead... 99% sucess
*** recomend glass cups, so we can wash , if you leave the same water for 15 days, will be some algae ...
