After reading that A. titanum could be propagated form leaf cuttings, I thought that A. bulbifera (which naturally produces bulblets on the leaf at the end of its cycle) would be a likely candidate for leaf cuttings.

I took a 6" tip from my plant and removed the green leaf-parts (there's a word for that) from the stem part and inserted about 2" worth in a potting mix and put it under an overturned aquarium for higher humidity.

A bulb has been forming within the stem under the soil.

Has anyone else tried leaf propagation with other Amorphs or Aroids?
