I had good beginners luck with the vein cut out and laying the whole leaves down too, but I'm still not willing to do it again!!! LOL So many plants, it was a pain in the patoot!

But Gail ... if I was you and wanting to do it with some popular streps I would choose any of Fantasy streps you have. Like Spin Art, Space Dust and the Bristol Party series as they are so very popular .. I also noticed that Remembering John is commanding a very good price for just a leaf section on eBay!! And of course Spiritual Corridor as it is such a beauty ... So just my two cents worth ...

Also Gail some where you were posting that you had a Space Dust not blooming true ... I just had the same experience! But the second set of blooms are coming on and they are blooming as the fantasy Space Dust blooms ... so one of the parent plants must have come through on the first blooms????

In this picture you can see the first blooms that I got from this plant (at the bottom) that I grew from leaf .... but then you can see that a true Space Dust bloom is getting ready to open up with the next bloom (at the top) ..... so let us know what your next blooms do on the Space Dust plant that you say isn't blooming true look like....
