This article was pure and simple. Jump right in folks and don't worry about a few mistakes. Jill has the basics down pat in this article. I start about ten at a time by putting two cuttings in a foam coffee cup. I get about 85-90 percent success doing exactly what is suggested in this article. I have them in my house for give-a-ways all the time. I just like to see plants push roots and become flowering plants. It is imposible for me to pass a new variety in someone's home without begging for a leaf or two.

I'm glad you caught "violet fever," Doc! It's fun.
