This was split from a much larger plant last fall; it is doing well and beginning to bloom ( the mother plant continuously blooms spring until Nov with 20 or more blooms at a time). It gives me much pleasure, but I have not been able to identify it and haven't seen it in the shops. The leaves are prone to disfigurement. What causes this and how can i avoid the problem?

About 2/3rds through, they note that the plant in question has a spot of mildew on the leaf. They simply trim this area off and comment that in about a week to 10 days the leaf will grow back.
If you are getting mildew, you might be overwatering your plant. Again, avoid getting water on leaves. The following tube video might be of help.

Streps are easily cared for, so long as you know the drill.
