I'd say go for it.

Just do what I do and chant "My mind is made up, don't confuse me with the facts..."

It has not seemed to wither or soften at all, I konw you can do this with other plants but I could not find any info on orchids?
I was wondering if anyone has been able to grow roots from a single orchid leaf. Has this worked for anyone?

If you read through this thread, Restrepias yes, all other genera NO.
