Greetings,
Thanks for your article. I accidently removed a leaf from my streptocarpus plant a few days ago.
I didn't cut/scrape etc. But i added some rootone to the leaf and then
enclosed it in a tiny pot with a baggie. Any hope do you think?
Thanks Much,
Marlene

Yes, indeed! You can stick the leaf just as you would an AV leaf, or you can cut it into sections (for more plants and easier handling). Here's a great tutorial from Rob: http://www.robsviolet.com/streps_by_leaf.htm

Head over to the AV & Gessie forum when you get a chance. There are a lot of friendly folks over there, including some real strep enthusiasts!
