can I root a new plant from a vine using just the leaf?

Question

I don't know the type of vine but it has beautiful purple flowers that are not tubular in shape-more flat. I grabbed a leaf.

Answer 1

There are several types of cuttings that can be taken from plants, including stem cuttings, root cuttings, and leaf cuttings.
The method most often used to propagate herbs is stem and root cuttings.
Leaf cutting do not contain a vegetative bud so a longer time is required to produce a plant (2 to 4 months). In theory it should work for most plants. However you will need ideal(constant light, constant temperature) and sterile conditions. You will also need petri dishes with a special medium.
This unfortunately is not possible option for most people.

Answer 2

The vine is probably a clematis.Using just a leave of a vine for propagation will not work. Try layering. Dig a small hole, bend a cane down, nicking it slightly at the bottom of the hole, anchoring it down with a u-shaped piece of wire, bend top upright to be above ground level, fill hole with soil.

Answer 3

nice try, but that sounds like clematis, you need part of the stem. you could try making a slit in a vein of the leaf, putting some rooting compound on the slit, and placing it in some damp vermiculite. but I highly doubt that it will work. Go back and ask the person if you could possibly have a few seeds.

Answer 4

you can try rooting it, but I doubt that it wil work, try getting a piece of the vine . a few inches of the end of one will work

Answer 5

nope. get some of the vine or forget it.
