Grape propagation from a single leaf ???
Comments (6)I have done it using a covered seed starter tray, in mostly perlite with a little peat. The seed starter has a fabric wick thats draws water up to the base of the cuttings. The bud will usually start to push just as the roots start to form. I bury the stem, which is about one inch long, with just the leaf sticking up. If the leaf is too big, you can trim it down smaller....See MorePropagation from leaf cuttings
Comments (2)This is the easiest way to root violets that I know. I have rooted hundreds of violets using this method. Violets like to be watered from the bottom, as a rule.

Comments (4)Tuberous begonias grow easily from stem or leaf cuttings. Young growth works best and cuttings should be taken early in the year. The plant grown from the cutting needs time to grow itÂs own tuber before it goes dormant the next fall, so the earlier the better. Tuberous begonias donÂt root well in water, except for the smaller stemmed types like the caudex forming types and B. sutherlandii. Most tuberous stem cuttings will start directly in potting mix (I prefer sand). They may look wilted initially but most will eventually root and recover. ItÂs best to keep them in shade until they have rooted. Leaf cuttings should be started as you would rhizomatous begonias....See MorePelargonium propagation from LEAF?
Comments (3)if truely interested search on In-vitro system of micropropagation ...Tissue Culture. I have experienced reasonable success with calloused, un-rooted vegetative cuttings and rooting them under intermittent mist at a soil temp of 72F. I prefer using Cloromone rather than Hormodin but with either product I only improve root emergence by 3 days over no hormone....See Morechazparas
