I've absolutely no idea of the plant's name. It stands 14cm high,

has
pink
flowers, is bushy, with thick squidgy leaves that are oval with very
pronounced scallops around the edge - and it couldn't be more

healthy.

A few weeks ago I stuck one leaf taken from this 6-month old

houseplant
into
some new indoor soil in a vain hope that a new one would grow.

There's
good
news and bad because the leaf developed a huge root system beneath

the
soil
but all you can see above the soil is the original leaf and nothing

else.
Am I being impatient and in another few weeks a lovely new stem will

shoot
up?


Not to a text-only ng like this one. Many (most) servers would simply
reject it.
You could post to one of the binary ng's and direct us to there by a

note in
this ng.

I meant of course using a suitable facility not to this group. But
thanks for pointing it out Franz. Not sure why you clipped my post tho?


My sincere apologies. It was an unintentional, crass mistake.
