No, the plant shouldn't be invisible, unless that's written into the schedule. But, those were basic questions I find myself asking when it comes to sinningia, streps, episcia, etc.

David is great for information on sinningia . . . and I'm sure Dale M. would help, if I could only find her email address. Jim is always helpful when I catch him on FB . . .

But sometimes, it is nice to take your plant to a real person, so you can watch what they do with it.

In lieu of that, though . . .

Here is E. My Black Beauty. It is in a 5" pan pot. I'm running out of places to stick the stolons when they get long enough to bend. Someone told me I should just cut them off, and stick them in the soil. I do understand that at least for this plant, I'm not restricted to one crown, etc, but I want it to look good too. Suggestions, anyone? I'm hoping to enter it in the club show at the end of april . . .
