Kim,
Got busy and potted down. I am swiftly coming to the conclusion I have to rethink my idea of pots; I am like the mama who thinks she shows love by not discipling her child with restrictions.

I seem to always pot too big.

Think I have fallen victim to same thinking in trying to put down AV leaves. Takes forever, IF I get babies. Somebody suggested recently that roots need to touch sides of container before putting out plants. Interesting. I have a lot of leaves down in pairs. Kim, your post inspired me to put 1 of ea of a dozen pairs (they have roots--no top growth) in smaller container to see if I get any observable differences in reproductive growth.

Here's the repotted strep.
