this is gonna sound really stupid i know but i was just curious if a single fan leaf would root if exposed to rooting hormone, not to form a new plant for growing or anything but just for visually interesting plant decor, you know just a fan leaf with a root doing nothing but sustaining its own survival, i know it wouldnt grow because it wouldnt have any nodes but i thought it would be pretty cool to just sit somewhere in my room or somethin

yes, it will
it will get bigger and eventually die

I've NEVER seen someone being able to clone a leaf without tissue culture gear.
Haven't managed to do so myself either. And I got some cloning experience under my belt.

I would love to see a picture of a leaf clone if someone have one.

Wouldn't it be eaiser to take a normal clone and when it roots pluck all but one leaf?

wouldn't it be easier to take a clone like most people do and when you get it to root remove all the leaves you don't want?

the idea was to clone from a leaf, not take a regular clone and then mutilate it
