For those of you not following the saga, I'll catch you up...

I had two beautiful AVs that finally found their happy home near a window in my new house and bloomed their little heads off for the very first time since I've owned them. Then came the evil aphids (everybody boo!) and the end result of *that* little fiasco (my own fault - I got excellent advice here) is that I have many little leaves in pots.

I also had some leaves from one of my mom's AVs potted up and they have been producing babies like mad.

So here is my current round of ?'s in no particular order...

>How many babies does one leaf usually produce? I keep chopping off babies and they keep making more!

>My new babies do not have the nice even shape/habit that the original plants had. There are little leaves and bigger leaves and they don't seem to be coming out in rosettes so much as randomly. Am I doing something wrong? Should I be cutting off misshapen leaves? Are they just gangly teens who will mature? Do you prune them?

>How long before I can expect blooming to occur, assuming they are happy? Is it a size thing? A time thing? A rootbound thing?

Quite possibly overthinking this,
