(HOW TO PROPAGATE/ROOT)
-------------------------------------------------------------
(#1) Place the cuttings straight into pre-moistened soil (We use ABG substrate) or water.
(#2) We recommend dipping your cuttings into rooting hormone powder (this is not a necessary step, but will help speed up the process).
(#3) Store in a warm, humid spot with bright indirect lighting (We root/propagate our cuttings in a humid Enclosed Terrarium).
(#4) Roots should start to appear after 7–14 days!
(#5) Once established you are ready to go... HAPPY PLANTING!!!
(#6) This is a basic rooting method for the best results we recommend researching your specific plant.

The plants stem will root & grow straight from your vivarium's, terrarium's or pots substrate. It does very well with poison dart frogs or any of your vivarium or terrarium critters; in a very still and moist environment. It truly is an eye catcher, having mint green leaves, with darkened edges & bright red-orange blossoms that will really stand out. Such an extravagant plant that would be a great addition to any collection.
