Angraecum distichum - success in rooting clippings?
I have a small specimen I picked up at the Oregon Orchid Society show back in late April. One stem/vine of leaves wasn't looking so hot, but the other stem/vine looked fine and there was a third one sprouting with about five leaves. All the leaves looked desiccated - the guy I bought it from said he purposefully didn't water is plants a lot because he didn't want them to outgrow his space...but I digress. Since I brought it home, I've had new leaves sprouting two of the stems, a new root and what looks to be a fourth stem sprouting at the base.
I've been considering clipping the stressed stem and seeing if I could get the healthy tip of it to take root. I'm more concerned about the mother plant - I don't want to kill it with the an experiment.
Anyone have any experience with this little one? I've read the older posts but there isn't much info on them.
