    Hi

    what’s this ?

    I only managed a leaf cutting just now AEC31913-6A62-44B4-BC4E-D484F5C71BCE.jpeg . Is it possibly to propagate it from just it’s leave ?
    I really love it, so any advice appreciated.

    cheers

    ah, naughty fingers, must have ruined someone's beautiful expensive plant :) . Looks like philodendron pink princess - very popular plant, loads of people hooked on it. I doubt it can be propagated by a leaf, but not 100% sure. You can get a full plant for tenner now.

      The horticultural literature would suggest you can propagate a plant from even part of a leaf.

      Good luck with it though, I can barely get cuttings to work even if I do it the supposedly easy way.

          Well, if any kind person on the forums can send me a link as to where I might be able to purchase a cheaper plant fur say 10-15 pounds I’d much appreciate it .

          I saw this advertised on Etsy. But I think they’re just selling a single bulb for 6 pounds or 53 pounds for a small plant D3656725-6008-4F84-8AB2-B1CA0ADBCEBF.jpeg ?

          Would £5.99 be ok? :biggrin: Philodendron 'Pink Princess' - philodendron

          Alternatively, perhaps you could re-visit the plant that donated the leaf and take a proper cutting. Philodendrons usually root quite easily.

          Keep in mind the old wisdom that you should never say thank you for a cutting, stolen plants grow best. ;)
