Hello!
I hope this note finds each of you in good health.
My Christieara lost its lead. It was falling over and I grabbed it by
the top which snapped off the three newest leaves. I'm guessing it
will sprout a new lead from somewhere down the stem. I hope it will,
anyway.



I have good luck getting broken pieces to root. I would try the
Shag-Bag to root the top of the Christieara. You need patience and
high humidity. Our GH runs too damp (close to 80%) so I can just hang
it up. But if your under lights ( my light case runs about 26%
humidity) you will need more moisture. I would also hope for the rest
of the plant and a new lead. I have had them blooming size in 3-4
years. Good luck.
