In later summer or when the leaves are mature and fully grown but not withering like July (when the leaves overlap) i cut some to give the other plants room. Cut large healthy leaves at mid section or so across the grain to give a long cut surface (not at petiole), treat wound with a propagating compound like cloneX or roottone and put in a bag or clamshell box of barely damp peat moss. Keep warm but not hot. 90 degree is too hot. Check peat does dry out, in a few weeks to months you should have dozens of clones of small bulblets forming with roots as the leaf withers. In time in a lettuce box you can remove the lid and water it a bit as the bulbs develop. You don't gain much time over seeds but you do get lots of clones of your favourite plant quickly. Should work for all hyacinth types, lachenalias, ledebouria, pineapple lily etc. This topic has been discussed on this forum before. Don't use a withering leaf, it wont work. Small leaves or leaves from small plants probably wont work, not enough cells.

Some are "better" in having more, and more distinct, leaf markings and I've been trying to propagate and distribute those, but despite a lot of careful hand pollination seed set is only so-so for me, especially with selfings. > > Steve > >> On 5/18/2021 8:04 AM, Rimmer de Vries via pbs wrote: >> They have shallow roots so why use a deep pot.
