One thing I learned when visiting Gail a few weeks ago, is that I was treating my streps too delicately! By that, I mean that I was being over protective . . . when moving one, I would use one hand to protect it from others, etc. Now I'm like Gail - I move them quick, and don't panic if a pot bumps into another one!

The pots I have some of those babies in, Gail, are those bigger clear squatty type cups you gave me.

Here's the part that I mentioned you wouldn't like in the dmail . . . I am Texas style watering them, just like everything else! (Here, I'll go take a pic). But, unlike my violets, I do let the soil dry out a bit before I water again.
