I got C. elliptica five days ago, and there is one leaf abscise. So I do as Kai said in the other thread.
I put the leaf on the soil, and keep it soggy. What I've done shown on the picture is right? Could anyone give me some suggestions?

Hi Kelvin, Yes you are right. be patience, you should see some growth in the next 3-5days as long you did not push it too deep in . Cheers.
Update us again.

Kevin,
Thats the way. I would suggest removing the gravel that is directly opposing the end of the stem because the planlet will grow out from there. ALso you would like to keep your pot in place with high moisture.

Hi, TS and Yoong

Thank you for your suggestions. Once I get any progress, I will make a update here.

I did it the same way as Kevin before, only I had the stem curl up on me so the end of it no longer contacted to the soil. Hopefully, I'll get it right the next time.

The plantlet develop form the leaf about two weeks.
This morning, I took a picture of it to make a record.

Congratulation for the success. My plantlet is still growing. The old leaf that it grew from is melting away gradually.

Congrats, Kevin, that looks promising!

You'll have to replant the young elliptica later on but I'd wait until it has reached a decent size.

Update. A new leaf developed.

Thank you, Yoong and Kai,
And Kai, what time is the good time to replant the young elliptica?

Kai Witte

Hello Kevin,

There's no specific time which is best. I'm often waiting until the "mother leaf" is gone but in your case, I'd probably choose to replant once the mother plant sends out a leaf which shades the plantlet (you can probably push the currently developing leaf aside with a stick if necessary).
