I remember there was an article on D.villosa leaf cuttings in CPN
by Rob Maharajh in the May 1985 (?) issue. He mentioned that his leaf
cutting only worked in winter. I attempted it a few times in the summer,
but it really seemed to work best in winter. Most of the times it never
worked though. Out of curiosity, where are your plants from? Do you have
any site location for them?
Good Luck!
