| 21. | They propagate by spreading and forming new plantlets, called keikis, from the base of mature leaves.
|
| 22. | Sometimes, these plantlets will be evident growing out of the holes at the bottom of the pot.
|
| 23. | The choice of explant material also determines if the plantlets developed via tissue culture are haploid or diploid.
|
| 24. | Nevertheless, studies show that clone plantlets are much more likely to survive than seedlings germinated from seeds.
|
| 25. | The trailing stems root where they touch the ground, and before long the new plantlet becomes a mound.
|
| 26. | The Amorosos also reported that young plantlets should be transferred in wire baskets containing chopped Cyathea roots with compost.
|
| 27. | Due to the controlled nature of their maturation, the plantlets often do not have fully functional dermal coverings.
|
| 28. | Until this stage, the plantlets have been grown in " ideal " conditions, designed to encourage rapid growth.
|
| 29. | You will see, once the roots are exposed, whether any plantlets have formed between the soil and pot.
|
| 30. | While the plant produces plantlets where blooms fade, the stalks do not bend, so the plant does not walk.
