Propagation of Streptocarpella?

| I've got a few cuttings of Streptocarpella , but have no experience growing it. I read it's easy to root, but how? In water or in soiless medium? Under plastic or open? How long should be top cutting? How to propagate by leaf?
Thank you! |

| Water or soil should be fine. I put one node into the potting mix, and keep covered if the air is very dry (which it is here when the heating is on in the winter). I tend to use short cuttings - at least 4 leaves. I usually pinch off growing tips as I prefer that they branch. They are easy to root, so really anything should work.
