On the 16th of June I put strep leaves down in straight perlite in salad containers. And I forgot to put drainage holes in the bottom! I had said I wouldn't post pictures of these as all the perlite turned green and they were so ugly but what the hay!! LOL The babies are growing good now and they would have grown much better if I had not gotten over anxious and pulled some of the leaves up to see if they had roots. They did and I could never get them buried correctly again!! So there are babies behind the leaves and a lot of them at the end of the leaves and a little bit everywhere else! I did three boxes like this and I'll post a picture of each.

On the right side of this box the two small leaves are from a young "Streaker" plant I had. I still have not gotten it to bloom but boy did those leaves throw up a ton of babies!!
