I've tried before with little luck. I now have leaves that have babies. I love your instructions along with pictures. I now know, thanks to you, to leave them alone once they have babies. At least until they are bigger, before separating them into individual pots. I used to do it as soon as I saw the babies. Very few survived the move. Thanks for a great article.

I'm glad to hear you'll be trying again! When you do pot them up, pay attention to their little root systems, and put them into a correspondingly little pot. Too much potting mix around too few roots = wet feet, and they hate that. You can let them get pretty crowded in their leaf pot, and they'll still do fine once transplanted.
