The plant is getting lots of light and yes i guess the word "babies" is
not the correct term to use rather call them plantlets. anyways i
fertilize every 2 weeks using miracle grow. As for watering i have been
watering it every 3 to 5 days making sure that the soil is dry. All i
want is for this plant to start growing them.. ive been waiting
patiently with no luck to-date.


Is the plant pot bound yet? They generally start putting out the
runners when they feel a bit cramped I tended to just turn them back
to root in the pot to make it bushier at first. Then I let them send
out runners and dangle plantlets around until they get in the way at
which time I'd whack them off and dump them in a glass of water or
stuff them in a pot and heavily water them at first, then they'd root.
Hard to stop them from rooting. They can take a lot of abuse.

My experience is the same. Dead easy. It's been a while but I think I
probably boosted the odds a bit by giving them a bit of rooting hormone.
Otherwise I just screwed them into a 4" pot and kept them moist for a while.
