I've always started mine in water, but learned a while back that when I was planting them in soil, I was putting them in way too far into the soil, and that's why it took so long for the "ears" to appear, when the leaf had a good clump of roots going - they had to fight their way to the surface!
Since I've changed that, they pop up in no time, it seems.

I've got a question for Allison or Nanna or any of you other "experts" (now now, don't be modest, compared to me, you are) - I've got a strep that is putting out babies, and want to know, how do I separate them? And when?
thanks!
