My experiences are different to Clarks in that I have in the
past taken Summer leaf cuttings (successfully) from
P.moranensis. The advantages of using winter leaves however
is that they are more numerous and can be removed with less
damage to the parent plant.
Some plants such as P.emarginata do not produce a Winter
rosette like P.moranensis so you only have 'Summer' leaves
to use as cuttings. Again I have not had problems raising
P.emarginata from such leaf cuttings.
Kind regards
