It’s been just over four weeks since I started my first attempt at propagating from leaves and I’ve got my first strike on one of the Emerald’s Envy cuttings. Gotta love it!

Cool, congrats! I've never had luck with leaf cuttings, but I do well with seeds.

Yes, they do grow very slowly. My first set of seeds took several weeks to germinate, and the resulting plants are still mostly quite small.
I've tried leaf cuttings in distilled water, in a "soup" of peat and water, laying the cuttings on wet peat with no results. It may be that I need to use "newer" leaves, I usually try this with older leaves, but not wilted or dried up ones.

When I lay the cuttings on the peat, I'm careful to keep everything misted and wet. The leaves will stay green for 3-4 weeks, then start yellowing and dying.
I never tried using wet LFSM. I keep plenty of dried moss around to use when repotting. I'll try it when the weather warms up. Thanks!

Every “Emerald’s Envy” leaf cutting had one strike. Just moved them into a pot.
