The mother I received them from was nowhere near any soil, but had a few stolons rooting in water.<br />I found that some of the mother plant's runners, with plantlets on the ends,(and no roots) had produced its own stolon with another plant on the end. So, Stolons on stolons.<br /><br />Similar behavior found here: http://resources.metapress.com/Rameennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-52806670053932828342010-12-17T10:48:17.358-08:002010-12-17T10:48:17.358-08:00Rameen:

I'm waiting for them to decide to dry/open on their own before I attempt to plant them. <br /><br />I'm a little confused about the rest of your comment: you're saying that you have a 'Charlotte'-like plant that forms runners?

I've been finding these plants, and taking cuttings of the plantlets that grow from stems shooting out out from between leaf crotches. One of the offshoots I found had another offshoot (imagine the possibilities!)And another of the offshoots had a stem and flowered that night and for just one day.

Seed just did not set from possible previous pollinations. <br /><br />Sometimes neighboring plants induce hormonal changes that could lend itself to seed production. Or the plant itself decided it was big and healthy enough to expend energy on seed production (I bet it has extra-fat tuberous roots now) w/minimal risk.
