I have tried getting cuttings to root several times but have never had any success.

Young leaves are what I was told is best to use for the Streptocarpus (Cape primrose) propagation. I tried again today and did 16 sections of leaves from 4 different plants. Here it is the middle of August and those I planted June 17th did not sprout yet. As you know, many died. We will see if this is correct or not.
