This is the new plant coming off the old stem section that was propagated. The old stem of the mother was HUGE. They had a couple of large mother plants there that had huge very old trunks

That is how they propagate plants for sale...section up a stem with several nodes, plant it and new plants come off the nodes. When they are large enough they sell them.

This plant is already trying to make adventitious roots so I am going to let it acclimate to the GH for a few days then transfer it to the coir lined basket I bought and put it into bark, aliflor, perlite and whatever of this peaty mix they have it in doesn't fall off readily
