Thanks for the advice! I've got about a dozen stem cuttings in the rooting process now. Will update when I see progress

I present here the layman's propagation of P. Alba. Simply place all your leaves/cuttings in a ziploc bag with a bit of water and forget about it for a month. When you check again there will be several roots on your leaves and they should be reading for planting.

Is this the most effective propagation method? Probably not. Is it the easiest when propagating larger amounts? Seems so to me. Of 12 cuttings all but one have gotten substantial roots.

Whole p.viridis stems (15-20cm) with about 3-4 leaves cut in half and placed into rainwater outside.
All showing tremendous root growth in less than a month.

Gave the takeaway Tek a whirl and I must say I'm impressed.Put my leaves (cut in half-tops and bottom) in a coir/verm mix on the 26/2 and yesterday took a look and they bursting with roots!! Decided to put into small pots today before they get a little difficult to separate - I noticed slightly more root growth the tops that I cracked the mid rib a couple times slightly above the cut
Great Tek for leaf propagation
Highly recommend

Propagation of Psychotrias via stem cuttings interests me greatly!! Does anyone know and/or have experience with propagating other psychotrias via stem cutting? I want to try this out with my P. Nexus.

@mangrove
Im pretty it'll work the same with Nexus - it is a psychotria hybrid so can't see why not.
