Here in Phoenix, AZ USA, my stem cuttings grew a new bulb in water in 2 months in indirect highlight under a grow bulb. I’ve heard leaf cuttings take up to a year! I moved mine from water to a closed glass container that was moist and it was doing so well!! I’ve moved it from that to a mix of Aeroid mix with some orchid soil mix and they are doing so well! The pot is terracotta indoors. They’re with my tropicals side of the house so lots of light and humidity and they seem super happy. I’m moving them to a higher light area to regain the darkness of the leaves. Again, make sure you are taking YOUR region and growing climate into consideration when applying info from sources.

Wow! Video tracking progressive over 1 year. That’s really commitment. Regarding the patent- its my understanding that you can separate the plant but not propagate (from cuttings or otherwise). Patents can be country specific or international and there are ways to enforce - prohibiting sales for example. This might be a good Q&A video if you know of an attorney who would be will to discuss the subject.

I do much better with fast draining soil in plastic pots with much less watering than clay. I also found the cuttings will usually root and grow the best when I put them in a large pot that contains a big healthy plant with lots of roots through the soil. Ive actually found this to be the best way FOR ME to root almost all my cuttings and really it’s the best way to grow many hard to grow plants. The big plant controls the soil moisture and health, when it’s 1 cutting in 1 pot then most of that soil can only be controlled by watering it. It just works better for me and honestly it mimics nature. Most small cacti and succulents grow under nursery trees for many years, haworthia grow in tangles of thorns etc. I even have agave growing in pots with bananas. They love it! They get loads of sun, they dry out every day but get water almost every day. Fastest growing agave I have and in potbound musa.
