This is new to me, maybe others already knew about starting chirita leaves, but all the reading I have ever done, I don't remember reading this tip. But this is something I learned at a seminar.
If you cut off a chirita leaf and root the end, you will get a couple baby plants. If you cut that leaf in half and put the top part down to root too, you will get a bunch of baby plants. Not that anyone wants a dozen to find homes for, ha.
If you are having trouble with the more thicker leaves rotting instead of rooting, use hardly any water in the rooting medium, they will root practically dry. I had this trouble with gemella and URSB 83 (think this is correct name), so next time I will try that with them.
Also they are not sure if chirita sp. taminana is actually a chirita. I thought that interesting because I never thought it looked like a chirita, ha.
