African Violets and Gesneriads: Chirita Weeps Water - Why?, 1 by gessiegail

since the thread is about chiritas, I have a couple of questions. In choosing leaves to propagate on a chirita, what do you do in choosing a leaf when they are all big leaves on a more mature plant??

Question number two is...............I bought an av plant at the sale where it appears to me that someone got it too wet getting ready for the sale (and being afraid that it would dry out before someone purchases it)...........the entire outer set of leaves is now looking not too good.....it appears that they are going to have to all come off.
Is it possible to use leaves this big and root them??
The picture I am showing you is when I got it.....the outer leaves don't look this good now....I have to make a decision before I pull off the outer circle of leaves....they aren't too damaged yet, but if I wait too long they may just have to go into the trash can.......
thanks
