Realizing of course, that it is much easier to propogate an episcia from stolons... I wanted to see if it could be done from leaves, like AVs. I stuck two leaves from my big 'Kee-wee' on April 1st, and nearly four months later, I have found that you can!
Now if I could just get my AV leaves (the two I have) to do the same....

WOW....4 months, talk about a patient lady.......
Woo Hoo! Great Growin Karen! Gives me hope! I have always grown AV's from leaf but I'm new at Episcia's and didn't even realize these plants could be propagated that way! I have waited 3-4 months to see little ears peeking up from AV leaves too! Guess sometimes plants are just a bit lazy and like to take their time showing their pretty little faces!
Great Job! Keep us posted with pic's as the little fella grows up!
Tell me about it! I almost threw them out about 3 weeks ago, but when i tugged on one of them it held fast... so I thought, "What the hay?"
Just fun to be able to say I could do it...
It's so much faster with stolons!
Neat Karen! I never knew they could be started from leaves like av's.That baby looks so cute!
I could never root a leaf from episcias but do av leaves all the time.............if you will follow www.rachelsreflections.com
you cannot fail............................with av leaves that is
Rose, it may be faster with stolons but that is just so cool that they will grow from leaves too!! Fun experiment!
