Has doing this saved the leafs or just for ascetics?

I had broken halfway a Bulbophyllum leaf months ago. Only partially detached . the whole leaf is still green and healthy. the active ingredient of superglue is used in hospitals as an alternative to stitches. Of course the medical one is pure and sterilized.

stefpix -> I must say I'm quite impressed! Almost makes me want to go and break a a bit of my phal leaf just to see super glue in action! :b haha
Well I'll definitely keep that in mind!

Nice ambo. Too bad it was not packed very good for you, but it looks happy now. It will bust out with leaves everywhere when it gets settled in.
