Most of this thread is over my head but I am trying to figure out how that baby chirita is already blooming???? It looks the same size as the ones I order from Rob's...

Here is my sinningia 'White Sprite'........doesn't appear to have the same foliage, but I certainly could be wrong....I don't have my old pictures to show you in her glory days but here she is now along with a purple one....

What is the advantage of growing from stems of flowers as opposed to leaves?? I would love to know.........

Someone sent me pepperomia leaves and I now have two new plants from a nice looking plant of hers....
