African Violets - Zippering, a.k.a. Fasciation
Szívesen látnék olyan videót, hogy ültetés után a levelek 2- 3- 4- 5- 6 hónappal nálad hogyan fejlődnek, nálam jóval lassabban, mint sokan írják, 10 levélből kettö két és fél hónap utána, 1-2 db 3 és fél hónap után ,és van ami 4 hónap múlva bújik, ki, van aminél 5 hónap múlva is csak levél van, jártál már úgy, hogy a levélnek csak gyökere volt 5 hónap után, de kicsi nem nőtt rajta ? Szeretem a csomag kibontós videóidat, ha idén szerzel új ibolyákat vagy leveleket, kérlek tedd fel , nem a fajták miatt, mert nálunk teljesen másokat lehet kapni, alig van 1-2 azonos, hanem amiatt hogy jó nézni ahogy a dobozból elővarázsolod a szépségeket , köszi
They cant grow in the winter time because it is to dark we dont have the strong light in the wintertime
@@christinavonheidenstam3206 I use LED lights to supplement the natural light, using these light setups mine grow and bloom all year round: th-cam.com/video/8evlmRe58Fc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3eZoUTFadKbhzP2N
My Dollar Tree store has a cake carrier I use for a greenhouse,$1.25, plastic. It holds about 17.
My Maa's Angelina also zippered and I got rid of it. Thank you for the info.
Gorgeous in Pink! Happy New Year! 🎉 S.😊
@@susanpearce2668 She is, indeed! All blooms opened up just in time for the New Year! Happy New Year!🎆💕
No words! Your violets rock!
@@charocflores Thank you!💕
@@grayturtleviolets 🙂
Beautiful
Happy holidays, i have a question about your mix, i know you simplified it can you tell me what you omitted, i do have your original recipe, thanks
@@nanci357 I omit Diatomaceous earth, it was compacting the potting mix. Happy growing!
What fertilizer do you recommend for wicking system? And how much thank you
@@john3.16-j3m Thank you for your question! In this video, I talk about how I fertilize my African Violets, on wick watering: th-cam.com/video/qqmRHHf3NNw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ftvpnRYOWYqwe12y
How long do they drink do you throw the rest of water out? I let them sit with wick and the are dying 😢
@@john3.16-j3m I don’t empty the water, it always stays in the wicking container, with submerged wick, for continuous capillary-action feed.
Muchas gracias por enseñarnos a través del tallo de la flor❤
Looks to be Optimara EverBeautiful. I have one too.
Optimara "Ever Beautiful". Gorgeous!! I also have one of those and love it!!
So many beautiful PURPLE BLOOMS!
Bellísima!!!
That’s "Dead of Night" bought mine from London Lyon
Looks very similar!💜
I’ve had both Dead of Night and Opt. Everbeautiful. The space violets are very recognizable. That is Everbeautiful.
Really did well. A couple of my favs are noid. Thanks for sharing ❤
I need one of these! It’s so cute and I love your videos too.
Sweden her! Thank you. Glad to know this.
What's the name of this one ? I love it ❤
@@evangelineminton Louisiana Lullaby (Lyndon Lyon Greenhouses/P. Sorano). Just added the variety review video with more info to related videos here, check it out! It’s one of my favorites!
What are the light and watering needs for the leaf propagation?
@@Dcat119 I check them once a week, they normally need watering every two weeks or so, enclosed propagation trays hold moisture longer than growing in open air. Important is not to overwater and keep the potting mix moist but not soggy. Same light requirements as African Violet plants, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/8evlmRe58Fc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uDhxu0H1xn3Gezxj.
@ thank you so much for your reply! It was so quick and I’m super appreciative! I will try again with your advice. I will check the video out. I pray you have wonderful and blessed holidays and I wish you a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year!
@ Thank you! Happy Holidays and Happy Growing!🌸
merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo; cela m'a beaucoup facilité l'installation.
I tried this this method on one of mine and it has big roots in 3 weeks ! Now to work fixing some others. Thank you !
نباتات جميلة وزهورها روعة ❤❤❤

Hunter hot lips it’s gorgeous! ❤❤❤
Thanks!
@@karenspencer763 Appreciate your support!🌸
My girlfriend just gave me an African violet. It’s in a ceramic pot that does nit have a drain hole. Should I repot it?
@@carolhodges3958 Yes, ideally they do better in pots with good drainage. I would repot it. Happy growing!
Hi. I just put 6 of my violets on wick watering. I had previously repotted them so did not want to do that again. I used a large needle to thread the wick up into the soil. My questions are how will I know if it is working? Should the soil always appear wet/moist? Will I know it’s working because the water in the jar is disappearing? Thanks!
@@karenvknight6516 It should work, as long as the wick is presoaked, the potting mix contains at least 50% coarse perlite, and the plants have well developed root system, strong enough to grow on wick watering. I would water it sparingly from the top, after you thread the wick, to get the capillary action going. Yes, you’ll know it’s working when the potting mix remains moist and the water level goes down in the reservoir over time. Happy growing!
@ thanks for your wonderful videos!
Thank you for sharing this beauty
I always wondered what “Sport” meant, so now I understand why mine are two different colors.
I've had that same experience with starter plants not blooming with the fantasy, and Streaks as parent.even after 2or 3 cycles. Thanks for sharing your experience. .It is very disappointing .
@@SS11660 We’ll see how this one goes - will make sure to grow if not all, at least a few more propagations to see which one has best fantasy. Sometimes, change in growing conditions can change the blooms too, e.g. the intensity of color pigment in the blooms, etc. I will need a lot of patience, lol!
Very helpful!
You know your stuff about your violets , enjoy your videos, thank you, Oly. Wa.
Hi, I always love looking at your violets, thank you for sharing their beauty with us. I always look forward to the new mini and semi videos. Do you disbud your plants at all? They always have a nice head of blooms.
@@verajfgcs Thank you, glad they are enjoyable! Yes, I disbud them periodically, and when I repot them twice a year. Because of the collection size, there is always something blooming!
Yet another awesome plant! Love ❤️ 😍 that vibrant PURPLE! S.
Me too!! Definitely quite a looker!
And those gorgeous leaves!!! Stunning! I'm very envious of all of your "babies" 😂
So lovely.
