You cuttings look good....hope that leaf wasn't too old....it would take longer to produce little plantlets.......good luck with them

I could be wrong, but if they are there is still time to correct this.

Your right Cherry...the two close to the side of the left hand side of the pot are too..
Kath...when you've sorted them, put a plastic bag over the cuttings and hold with an elastic band; after you've watered them in, then you won't need to keep spraying them

I was in a dilemma, thinking that it might be unkind to point this out, but there was still time to put it right.
