It's been months!
So many months I've lost track.
Over 6 months for sure.
But finally....a root!
It's a cutting from a corn plant that reached the ceiling.
We had to cut it or take out an office
ceiling tile and let it grow in the rafters.
But who wants that.
This is the second try with a
cutting from this plant.
The first one failed or
I guess I lost
patience too soon.
This cutting had many beautiful leaves.
It was hard to cut those leaves away
but I heard you had to but I did it in stages.
I also started it in water then later
changed to wet perlite.
(the white stuff clinging to it in the photo)
I think cutting the leaves WAY back
and the perlite did the trick.
The stalk looks awful.
But it's alive and
proving it.
And another root looks like it's bubbling up.
Stay tuned.
This will hopefully be a great success.
I'm patient this time.
I'm also mesmerized and
fascinated by what plants can do.
