I kept watching this plant get sicker and sicker..........in this picture, I cut off the runners until a healthy point. When I repotted i found that the root system is very weak....roots less than 1" long.....all the soil fell away from the plant including roots....If I start all over and root again, could someone tell me if I can use the healthy nodes along with the crown to start different new plants?
Thanks,

starfly, thanks....great help.....can you start new plants with the healthy nodes that are left?? Then I could put the main crown and all the new starters of nodes in a flatter pot????
You can propagate like an episcia, by cutting off and rooting the stolons or by simply pinning the stolons down onto potting mix. I find that stolons take a while to get going - they root and then seem to sit there for a while before really growing. I am sure there are old threads here with good propagation instructions.
your so right keyring,i have 18 down now and there so easy to grow.
