Anyone tried to strike Pereskiopsis leaves?

Wondering whether Pereskiopsis leaves can be used, with or without IBA etc, for vegetative propagation.

I haven't personally but I have read several times now that it is possible.

Tried a few times myself unsuccessfully, if they were kept humid I imagine there would be a better success rate (probably where I went wrong).
Have had reasonable success with very small (1-2cm) tip cuttings.

Hi.
Last time I was on the net I found a link to Teos_small_book_of_grafting_ca.pdf, http://dc581.2shared.com/download/0FSf4NL9/Teos_small_book_of_grafting_ca.pdf?tsid=20150816-111931-603dcc71.

In it the author mentions cutting off a small stem section with attached leaf. Not quite what I had in mind but close to it.

The download is well worth getting. There are a couple of Photos of his technique in the file.

When you tried did you use an hormone? If so which hormone did you try? I have found some data on where IBA at 10gms/liter, was used to speed up rooting for Hylocereus species.

Cheers

Thanks, will definitely try it once I get some leaves.

Have had a further look around. Found one page on the Corroboree forum were there was a post saying " I have had leaves root" and posts two photos of leaves with roots.

Hi

Should have mentioned you need to put
Leaves propagation
into the search bar if you want to see the photos.

Cheers
