Abstract
The present work aimed to determine the propagation of Seemania sylvatica by different leaf sections. Leaf cuttings 6 to 8 cm in length were transversely cut to achieve different types of cuttings: apical leaf cutting consists of apical blade leaves only; basal cuttings made of the basal section blade of leaf with the petiole, and whole leaf. The leaf cuttings were placed for rooting in vermiculite in a mist chamber for 60 days. At the end of 60 days of cutting, whole leaf cuttings of S. sylvatica produced an average of 10 roots with about 40 mm of length and 3 shoots with 40 mm of length. The basal leaf sections had an average of 10 roots with 30 mm of length, and 2 shoots with about 40 mm of length. Both types of cuttings were effective for producing plantlets. The apical leaf sections also present potential for the propagation of S. sylvatica, but this is a slower process.
