Alright, these are my plants I cut three weeks ago. This was the parent plant and I've cut
this and these are my cuttings, which they're starting to root. What I did was I took these
cuttings and I removed some of the leaves so it would give it something, when I stick
it in the ground, something to stay. This shows how tough these plants really are. I
pulled these leaves off and I just left them on the bench because they're starting to grow,
there's roots and a whole new plant starting to grow out of this one leaf. So not only
can I take tip cuttings I can also take leaf cuttings. I think that's a really neat thing,
it shows how strong these plants really are. Here's another kind that's starting to do
the same thing. I also cut this cactus, this one's got a little spinier so it's easier,
it doesn't poke as much as the little ones, but this was growing right on top like that.
I took a knife and now we'll have two plants. This one isn't throwing any roots yet but,
put it in some soil with a little TLC and I think it will grow.
