Another streptocarpus grower! Greg, for the first time when I was propagating them this fall I decided to take a leaf from one of mine and try starting it like a african violet and see what happened. I took the cutting down by the stem and put it in just like I do the african violets. At the same time I did a leaf the regular way with the cut leaf. They both have made babies but the one I started like an african violet has made bigger babies quicker. 
This is the first time I've tried it like that so don't know if it's just an anomally or if that's gonna work out better. 
They are under rated!
