>>>>Late spring/early summer leaves once they have hardened off are best. Be careful with mist as too much causes them to rot. Late season leaves root very poorly. I hope this helps. Completely agree Tony; and with Eucomis have found that the later you take cuttings the more problems you get with rot and rotting; and once it starts it can spread through the whole lot like a whorlwind.
