First I prepared a substrate - flower soil mixed with sand and I broke a few leaflets from an adult plant. (2007-08). |
|
| |
I put each leaflet into a powder that accelerates creating roots and kills pathogenetic organisms. |
|
Then I put the leflets into the substrate and watered. |
|
|
|
To preserve high humidity it should stay in a foil bag or a covered aquarium. It should be watered too, the soil must be always wet. |
|
|
Half a year later - all the leaflets seemed dead. (2008-01). |
| |
The withering leaflets transferred all their life force in order to create tubers. |
| |
After 15 months from the beginning I saw the first emerging leaf from one of the new tubers. (2008-11). |
| |
A month later (2008-12) the first green leaf blade appeared. | After 2 years (2009-07) the new leaves consisted of 2 leaflets. |
| |
In spring of 2010 new leaves were 20-30 cm tall with many leaflets. |
