Plumberry Garden Patch
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 6 พ.ย. 2014
I love to learn and I love to share what I learn with others.
I also love to grow things. Pretty things! Tasty things! I have never had a favorite flower or plant, whatever is in bloom at the moment becomes my favorite.
Spending money to have someone do something for me that I can do myself really isn’t my style. Gardening doesn’t have to be expensive. Most plants aren’t that picky as long as they have a patch of soil, water, and light.
Welcome to my little garden patch! I hope you enjoy your visit.

How Did It Turn Out? FOLLOW UP On the African Violet That Had Drastic Surgery | Plus Show and Tell
มุมมอง 5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Just over 2 months ago, this African Violet had the crown cut off and put into a pot of soil to grow new roots. Here’s how it looks today. If you missed the first video showing how it was done, here’s the link - th-cam.com/video/dzMywQNL2Nc/w-d-xo.html PLUS I’ll show you a few other varieties that are favorites of mine. What are your favorites?
Cutting the Crown Off an African Violet and Repotting It | You Can Do This! Here’s How
มุมมอง 32K2 ปีที่แล้ว
African Violets benefit from repotting every few months but let’s face it, we don’t always do it. Here’s a quick fix for one that has grown a long neck and is hanging over the side of the pot. The African Violet in this video is Optimara’s Rhapsodie Clementine. WANT TO SEE THE RESULTS? Here’s the follow up video - th-cam.com/video/BzTlleWkbSw/w-d-xo.html
Good video! Your dog or puppy wants in. 😄
Thank you for this vlog. I have a plant that looks just like the one you've repotted.
Букетик из цветов очень нежный. У Вас очень красивая фиалка.
Where do you buy your african violets?...you gave the names of your violets and I'd like to get some like them.
Sounds like puppies😃
Do you need to put rooting powder on the srump
I have to do that
Where do you place them in your home? N S E or W?
I do this and have done it fir years with one of my plants. This last time all of the leaves wilted. Soil is damp. I don't know what to do with it.
I have a plant with 3 heads attached as a triangle , no blooms. Is there a way to dissect the plant or have I allowed it to go to far?🩹
@@Tree-thingz if each of the crowns is healthy you can remove them and root them individually and have three separate plants. If you are nervous about doing all 3, choose one and try it first to see how easy it can be.
@plumberrygardenpatch4869 I appreciate your prompt reply. I'm outdoors having a meditative moment dissecting. I believe all 3 will thrive. I BELIEVE!😂
❤Mulțumesc!🙏🇷🇴👍🙋♀️
Very good demonstration thank you
Would the bottom prortion sprout?
Yes in most cases you could keep the bottom section and it will grow new sprouts around the cut edge that can be separated into individual plants later. If the roots are healthy that should work. Just make sure not to over water the root ball. Keep it moist but don’t let it get soggy.
Such a Happy Ending ! she looks so healthy and happy. Thank you I will do the same for mine I have 3 that need repotting
you have beautiful flowers, new subbie here! <3
You sound like East Tennessee. Me!
Close! Middle TN. 🙂
Can I ask why you couldn’t just repot it and soul it up to its “neck “ instead of cutting its head off lol? I’m terrified to chop my plant like that !
This one was too overgrown for that but you can certainly do that if the neck is just starting to get long. For example, if the neck is 2” long, you can remove the lower 2” of soil at the bottom of the root ball and replant adding fresh soil to the top. The neck that is buried will grow new roots. The violet in the video was too long for that.
@plumberrygardenpatch4869 Thanks so much for explaining that! I'd thought about trying it, but the plant came from a dear friend who's no longer with us. If I killed it, there'd be no replacing it. 💔
@@bkitteh6295Propagate a few of its leaves now so you'll always have a plant from them should anything go wrong with the main one. (Or for it eventually getting old.)
Ok, so I just decapitated my African violet. I’m wondering what to do with the rooted stem? I’m mortified that my top cutting and leaf propagations won’t make it, so I wanted to do something with the bottom of the plant too. Just as a precaution!
You can keep the root system and lower stem potted and it will usually sprout new growth. Between your crown cutting, leaf cuttings, and the base stem, you are going to have lots of plants!
Keep in mind that since there are no leaves on the old stem now it will need very little water. Keep the soil slightly moist but too much water could cause it to rot.
I usually have pretty good luck propagating leaves in water (95%). How do you propagate leaves? 💕🌞🌵😷
do you water periodically during bag time?
I do not. I make sure it is moist when it goes in the bag. Too much moisture could cause it to rot.
Good tutorial..i qould remove flowers also. What is the name of your AV plant?
This is Optimara Rhapsody Clementine.
Can you tell us what your soil mix is? Percentages etc. And where to get those slotted pots?
They are called net pots...on amazon
exactly what i needed to know. I usually repot every 6 months spring and fall, however it has been a year because of health problems I am lucky I was able to even get them watered. I'm healthy again and noticed all my plants have long necks. using your technique i have finished removing necks and repotted. can't wait to see results. thank you.
Happy to hear you are healthy! I’m sure your violets will do great.
What breed is this？
The variety is Optimara Rhapsody Clementine.
@@plumberrygardenpatch4869thanks~😊
Dont use this method, it kills the plant!! ..
Hello new friend. Happy to connect with you. Hope you can join me as well. I'm in Tennessee in the Old Hickory/My. Juliet area. Your flowers are beautiful!
That is a lot of leaveswhT ever happened to all of the leaves that were plucked? Did you propagate them?
Those leaves were composted. In this case, all the leaves that were removed were very old. Younger leaves usually root faster than old leaves so if I had wanted to propagate I would have removed one closer to the top of the stem. I only keep a handful of African violets and didn’t need another one of this variety. But if I had been concerned that this plant might not make it, I would certainly have rooted some leaves from it.
❤thank you for sharing 🎉
Your violets are so healthy and very pretty 🌸 I also decapitated a long necked violet recently, after watching your video, and it is slowly re-covering 👍
I have done this too and it worked nicely for me. One thing I haven't done is scrap the stem. Maybe that slowed the rooting process? I don't know. I was thankful it saved my violet.
When I've used this method my plants died! I just pot it up deeper..much less risky!!
A good example of why we need to turn our plants frequently. 💕so many pale leaves, I think maybe it needs a bit of fertilizing.
I have potted up all kinds of plants and left blooms on. Sometimes they stay nicely. If the plant needs the energy they will die off.
I really like those Russian types. The flower’s are so fluffy and full.
Some of them are amazing!
I appreciate your follow up. You’re right about other vids not showing how their AV’s ended up. Thank you!
how long was she in the bag for
I usually keep them in the bag around 3 weeks, sometimes less. If they start to wilt when they are removed they may need to go back in for a bit longer. It’s important when you bag them to have the soil moist but not too wet because too much moisture without air flow can quickly lead to rot.
@@plumberrygardenpatch4869 wow thanks so much I'm givin it a shot.
Wow! Very informative video. I need to search more on my homestead to see if I have any of what you mentioned. I did discover a Passion Flower vine in my garden. I still need to put it on a trellis. I planted some elderberry cuttings, so hopefully they will grow. Thank you for sharing your garden!
Thanks. Your elderberry cuttings will probably grow well. I took some cuttings of this one late in late winter or early spring and they all rooted so I had some to give away in the spring. I’ll probably take more cuttings next year to share.
Thank you for the follow up! The quick results are just amazing. I was happy to see Dean’s Bunny Blue in your collection. I recently received this variety as a freebie from Violet Barn in my last order. My plant arrived with a lot of beautiful variegation but I have no idea what the foliage will do under my growing conditions. My shelves with less light have foliage with minimal variegation. Your blossoms are just beautiful…such a lovely shade of blue. I am hoping Dean’s Bunny Blue will pair nicely with Dean’s Faded Rose. Thank you for sharing!
The Dean’s varieties can be hard to find. I think you will love Bunny Blue. I never have had heavy variegation on mine but it’s always been an easygoing, happy little plant and those blue flowers are so pretty.
Fantastic video. I have a violet in exactly this situation and I learned so much from your video. Thanks!
Love the follow up on Clementine!
Wow nice beautiful job Watching from California I got new ideas and I love your videos
I like it that you show the results, so so many who don't post an update. So does grow light make a difference to make AV bloom faster? What is your advice for those who do not have grow light?
Grow lights work very well since African Violets need light to set flower buds. But if you have a bright area in your home that will work just as well. Keep in mind that the sunlight changes throughout the year so a window that is just right in one season may not be in another season. You will need to turn them frequently if they are near a window because they will grow toward the light. Direct sun can burn the leaves so if it is very sunny move them farther away or use a thin curtain to protect them. They will also bloom under a bright overhead light if you don’t have a space near a window. If you do use a light, keep in mind that it shouldn’t be on 24 hours a day. They need a period of darkness overnight to set buds.
@@plumberrygardenpatch4869 Yes I do have a bright room south facing. Weird how some are blooming and some are not.
the last one you showed is my favorite. I never have luck with trying to propagate that one I am going to try the method that you used by just putting them in water to see if it will work. It was my husband's grand mother's so would like to keep it going. I have already gave tons away that I started in my basement it seems to be their most favorite spot. I even put a large flat round container on top of the fish tank and ran syphoning yarn down into the tank. I had one great big mass because everyone of the leaves grew babies. Those were the white ones they seem to be the easiest to grow.
I don't cover them after repotting. Also keep them in a north window or out of unfiltered sunlight. No probs.
It probably depends on your environment. 💕🌞🌵😷
I love you saved the flowers that were " just too pretty to waste"❤️
If you ever have pancakes from Cracker Barrel, save the tiny syrup bottle. They are just right for small blossoms.
Hola, es hermosa su violeta. Estoy aprendiendo cómo rejuvenecer una violeta cuando tienen tallo alto y solo viendo me doy cuenta que sí se puede hacer, gracias 🙏
You can do it! I’m sure yours will turn out great.
Beautiful violets! My favorite is Cajun's loves verse. 💕
Thanks for sharing!
What kind of grow light do you have your violets under?
This rack has two kinds of fluorescent lights, a combination of daylight and grow light tubes. I also have some violets in natural light and occasionally some in another room with overhead LED lights.
I have success with doing this if I put my plant inside of a glass jar with a lid afterwards. I also remove the blooms so the plant doesn't use the energy to keep the flowers.. ❤️
Thanks for sharing your follow up. Your violets are gorgeous. I love African violets too and have had that long neck happen. I was wondering how yours turned out.
I tried by mine died 😪
