Gail, I don't know why the leaves would break. Most of the show plants I see have lots of leaves over the edge. Then again, I don't know why they're doing so well for me. I don't baby them or do anything special for them, other than that I always water them from the bottom. There's really no way to top water without breaking leaves.

Those tiny Sinns are Sinningia pusilla. Despite how small they are and how fragile they look, they're tough as nails. I knew you wouldn't have a bit of trouble with them! Can't wait to see the picture! Are they blooming yet? They're mature. They came out of the community bowl. LOL Here's a picture of it. Yours came out of the bare spot at the front of the bowl. See all those seedlings coming up in the back? LOL
