For some reason it wont let me post the photo

I believe they take a very long time to root, but not 100% sure. I think DavidL has one and posted about it in the past.

I thought these didn't propagate from leaves-- that they'll grow roots but no new plants? i might be confusing it with something else, tho.....

If it is a Hoya kerrii... then you can take a look here for some tips: Hoya kerrii on Llifle.

Its a Kalanchoe luciae

Nevermind then!

Hoya growers often encounter that same problem when growing Hoya from leaf cuttings. The leaf will root but will fail to sprout a new branch. See that link: http://www.international-hoya.org/propogation.asp

In my opinion (I have to experiment with it, though) you should try and do one of the following: Try and cut a portion of the branch with the two leaves, Or, Take a leaf with a portion of the stem on it. I usually took whole stem cuttings.

The site offers a good description of the problem. You may often see "heart" leaves sold as curiosity. The growers know well how to make you buy another plant rather than growing a new plant from this one...

Eww thanks for trying to help

You will find many comments over on the Hoya forum.

To make it clear its a paddle plant not a hoya, but thanks for trying to help

If the leaf is still green, I don't give up on it. I have a huernia schneideriana that took nearly three months to root and begin growing, but it stayed green (if somewhat shriveled).

I think it may be buried too far into the soil. For me, successful succulent leaf propagation happens with the leaf simply laying on top of the soil, so the roots can go down the plant can go up. Once there are obvious roots & plantlets, I tuck it a little deeper into the soil.

Thsnks . So should i repot higher up ???

I was asking if it might need a bigger pot to give the roots some growing room. That could potentially be what's stalling it out (at least in theory) if it's got roots to spread and nowhere to go. Surely it wouldn't hurt to try?

I would pull it entirely out of the soil and just lay it on top. If the end of the leaf is at all rotted, then just toss it, but if it's still healthy looking it may sprout yet. You may need to lean it against something in a pot this tiny. It really doesn't need a bigger pot, since the roots and new plant will be quite tiny.

When I propagate leaves, I just lay them in pots with other plants. Then, once it has grown some roots and baby plants, I use a spoon and scoop out the whole shebang and put it in its own pot. The pot in the photo up there is a just a pot I keep full of soil to root stuff and relocate elsewhere. It's got a bunch of cuttings and rooting leaves in it. Good luck!

Ok thanks
