I can offer a leaf from Bristols Party Girl now for an episcia stolen (as long as it's not a variety I have). And if you want to wait, I've got S. Salmon Sunset on order. Not sure what size it will be when I get it, so can't guarantee a big leaf. Lori

Have Named Kholerias, Minni Sinns, Strep leaves, Sreptocarpella good hope, Chirita leaves,Eucadonias,Achimeniees lots more if you have Micro seeds I'm sure I have something you need I also have thousands of Perennial seeds and plants. I will be putting togeather my Ges. list tommorow. and posting it. Much more tommorow. Steve

You can cut off the seed pod when it starts to dry. Put the pod on some paper or in an envelope to collect the seed as the pod unravels. Even if the pod is left on the plant, and splits open, much of the seed can be collected from what doesn't fall out. After a long time, though, all the seed will be lost. It is not uncommon though, for spilled seed to germinate in the pot. Like all gesneriads the seed is very fine, and in large quantity. Each seedling raised will be different from the parent, as it is a hybrid. Jon

Well, here's what I'd do (but bear in mind I live in a less humid area than you), I'd wait till it was getting close to transplant time to start hardening them off, by slowing weaning them off artificial high humidity. My reasoning would be while they're this tiny and in a flat type environment, watering is dangerous and can wash them up, turn them sideways, bury the leaves, etc. If you choose, you could transplant a few at this size, and hold others ? That would give you a chance to see what works best. One thing you should NOT do, is put them in something far too big for them. That's really bad...in general...and especially for streps. So if you do individually transplant, you should look for something between thimblesized and maybe 1 inch pots. Once they're in some sort of more individual (maybe small clumps still?) pot, I can bottom water till they're larger. Since you're in a tropical environment already, it may be that your humidity is nearly like being covered anyway :) I don't know...but that's what I'd do in my conditions and why. I have mixed feelings about transplants, admittedly transplanted at this stage, they feel little to no transplant shock, but unless you just want to move them on (I might...not sure...due to watering advantages), I would probably keep them here another month or so...and hope for second pair of leaves. They're clearly growing a bit (though slowly). This post was edited by dbarron on Sat, Dec 13, 14 at 8:33
