I have heard it´s possible to grow these plants from leaf cuttings especially brocchinia reducta . Propably propagation  is similar to propagation of  drosera petiolaris comlex, so young seedlings should grow up from base near the plant

What is your opinion to these sentences ?

I've had my plants basal, but that usually only happens rarely, when the plant is under stress. I've not tried leaf cuttings, but root cuttings may work, especially in the case of B. reducta, as the roots can be relatively thick and a healthy section may be able to. The leaves seem to die off quickly once removed from the parent plant though.

I'm curious too. I'm not aware of propagating monocots with leaves.
