Amperon Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 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 ? regards Amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ifurita Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amori Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'm curious too. I'm not aware of propagating monocots with leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantas Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 is it ok to grow these plants in the bark as orchids, and do they need just rain water, or tap one is not bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm curious too. I'm not aware of propagating monocots with leaves. I regularly grow bluebells from leaf cuttings and they are monocots ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatchGreyes Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 The University of New Hampshire (in the United States) has a Brocchinia (see photo below). Talking with greenhouse staff, I learned that the easiest way to propagate it is to allow it to grow pups and for those to get fairly large before separating them off the parent plant.

Mantas Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Mine's really small but already growing (as you called) 'pups' :DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
