Jaide Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'm going the chop off the branches of mine tomorrow to grow new plants, and will dunk the main plant in the fish tank too - can't hurt to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Bamboo in the water - maybe you can just stick them in the tank: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Build ... est-19.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I think it will eventually die if grown immersed .. but let us know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 My cuttings seem to have survived so far and one appears to have some roots developing as well. The yellowing of the stem seems to have not spread below the truncation point which was sealed with wax ... but it might be early days yet.

blueether Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 ours seems to do ok with very little light and next to no water - gets watered about every 2 weeks to a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only been a few days and the shoots look ok but no roots yet (I get antsy about these things - have to trim my Fiddle Leaf Fig tree and I'm worried I'll kill it as they're next to impossible to find to buy. In Wgtn they are anyway, can't get anything decent here...Fiddle Leaf Fig Trees....pet shops :roll: ) My mother plant has started yellowing/dying from the top down so I think it's beyond saving - not even a dip in the fishtank seemed to do any good :-?

GrahamC Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm not sure how but perhaps mine had a root developing before I cut the lateral off. As for yellowing from the top down, I'd cut the stem where it looks healthy with a sterile knife and seal it with wax. Stop the infection or whatever it is spreading.
