Removing episcia stolons will help the main plant to grow larger as it doesn't have to share energy with all the others. Also, since all life has it's goal the survival of the species, removing stolons might get the plant to attempt reproduction by flowering instead of vegetatively. I just went down to my plant room and it seems most all the episcias are in blossom now. Must be the time of year that triggers bloom also. How do they know being in a windowless room under artificial light? But, they do somehow.
