Teri--

IF you want to bother--you can remove the healthiest leaves from your
struggling, older AV's and start new plants from them. It is quite easy.
If you want to do that--I will walk you through it.
There are 3 different ways you can do that. I even have pictures...

Here's the easiest--Stand leaves in 2" of mix in a high-domed container
2-3lbs of grapes come in. These are vented both top and bottom. perfect!

Stand the leaf-stems (at least 1-1/2" long) in the fresh Mix, making sure the bottoms
of the leaves do not touch the soil. Put lid on, and set somewhere under good light
and a warm spot. I used my task lights under my kitchen cabinets.
The new AV's will grow out from the ends of the stems from under the soil.
Keep mix moist. (see pic. 2 and 3).

When they have a full rosette of leaves and look like real, small Av's--
remove the whole leaf with soil and, gently, separate the new AV.
Plant in a small container--like a yogurt cup.
Replant leaf for growing more babies--THEY WILL! There arealways
more than one at the bases--always--maybe just ifferent sizes.
Separate what is ready--re-plant the leaf and let the others grow on.

Easy--Peazy.......Gita
