Cleaning up episcias and potting up

Taft, TX(Zone 9a)

I am cleaning up all episcias as I want to grow them big..........keeping all stolons off while the mother grows...
When you pot up all these stolons, don't you think I should pot each one up in a 2/12 " pot????

***** my bingo buddies....didn't realize the French Open finals are this morning and tomorrow morning for the men...changed all my plans!!!!

I usually pot each one in a Dixie cup, which is roughly equivalent to a 2 1/2" pot. So yes, I agree! :o)

I posted on the Bingo thread that we're starting on Monday, since that seemed to be what everyone thought was best.

yup.

And pot them so the lowest leaves are close to the surface.

On some stolons, you'll see a couple of pairs of leaves, and then below them, a pair of tiny leaves. I snip those ones off and bury those "nodes". The one in the photo pointing down (center bottom of pic) has them.

Also try tucking the tiny stolons into the pot as well - about 1/2" diameter/leafspan is big enough to prop. I start those one 2 or 3 to a dixie cup.
