Author Message   Treelover  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Thursday, October 14, 2004 - 10:59 am EST :    or more importantly, anyone tried propagating one from a leaf? Treelover - County Durham, Zone "8/9"   Euphorbphreak  My Weather My Time Posted on Thursday, October 14, 2004 - 12:39 pm EST :    The idea has certainly been on my mind lately! I have a huge one that is going through yet another round of leafing, so I was thinking of starting some up. At $15-20 for a tiny plant in the store, it would be worth the wait. How long does it take til rooting? Any special handling you give it?

Take a look here, fascinating, and the only site showing ZZ in flower! http://members.chello.at/norbert.anderwald/Zamioculcas/cultivation_e.htm Treelover - County Durham, Zone "8/9"   Euphorbphreak  My Weather My Time Posted on Friday, October 15, 2004 - 12:02 am EST :    Great summary pages and very useful. Thanks! A member of GW posted her ZZ in flower last year. I had never seen one before.

Mine's getting quite large. I did try starting one from a leaf but let it get too dry.

So glad I was surfing around !!! Thanks.. PS. Saw from earlier post about prices. Mine is about 18 inches high & only cost 12.95 - i guess i got a bargain! Cmw099 - nj, Zone "6"   Tropical_girl  Posted on Thursday, April 03, 2008 - 02:12 pm EST :    I am trying to do some propagating by leaf. I have planted six leaves so I will keep everyone updated when anything happens. I think they said it can take anywhere up to a year to grow. Tropical_girl - Alabama, Zone "?"   Treelover  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Friday, April 04, 2008 - 04:29 am EST :    Twice Ive tried and twice its died!

I'll post a pic later on mine. Tropical_girl - Alabama, Zone "?"   Treelover  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 11:38 am EST :    Yes mine produced a tuber and then sent up a shoot. Unfortunately it just withered away. Treelover - County Durham,UK, Zone "8/9"
