Wondering how long I leave them laying there on top the soil before trying to plant ?!?

In fact, I didn't realise that one leaf had dropped down onto the floor, behind a box where I didn't see it ... and it sprouted perfectly while sitting on a bare linoleum floor!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653345793213312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-8112988176572991312018-09-05T02:03:07.912+10:002018-09-05T02:03:07.912+10:00Hi Jamie...thanks for the research/info.

Was wondering - you mention laying the leaf on damp soil...avoiding rainfall...but, does one continue to dampen the soil over the first couple months? Thanks so much.

Plants usually get leggy due to a lack of sunshine, so I'd suggest moving it to the most sunny practical site is the best way to reduce leggy growth. Second best option would be a bit of trimming.<br />Good luck!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653345793213312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-51672080718454731982017-09-01T08:31:27.595+10:002017-09-01T08:31:27.595+10:00Did your copper spoon plant branch naturally, or d...Did your copper spoon plant branch naturally, or did you trim the top to promote branching?
