Ever since watching this video, I started propagating a few leaves from my two original AV and let's just say I got alittle carried away and now I have 20 plants lol, it's addictive but I can't wait til they all rebloom!!💚🌸🌸🌸🥰
KS Johannes, It looks like straight vermiculite. You can also use a 50:50 mix of perlite and peatmoss (coir fiber in place of peat moss is better, doesn't dry rock hard if it dries out). The vermiculite is probably better, but moisten before handling it; do not breathe its dust (It's a relative of asbestos).
I agree with Rebekah Samuels...Martha like to hear the sound of her voice WAY too much...and how rude too...the guy was talking and she just straight up interupts to ask the audience a question...he just has this look if frustration...let your guests do what they came to do...
It's Martha's job to keep things going at a good pace, hit all points, avoid jargon, etc. It's damned hard to do with some guests, especially those who are inexperienced and/or low-key. Martha's a gentle summer breeze compared to, say, morning show hosts steamrolling at a painful pace, the poor dears
anthony lewis, Too wet. They need constant moisture, but not sitting in it or soggy wet soil. They like to be bottom watered, so set the entire pot in a sink of *slightly* warm water, for about an hour or two. Then allow the pot to drain overnight, and return to saucer next morning. I watched my African Violet grow healthy leaves but not flower for literally a couple years, then I fertilized it and it hasn't stopped blooming since!
I have a ton of babies. I propagate in moist soil. Not too wet but not dry. I dome mine in Tupperware with a clear lid (you want warm humid atmosphere and to make sure the soil does not get dry). Or like small storage bins and I check on them often but don't mess with them much. I use light soil with no fertilizer (it makes them rot.) Takes months but eventually you'll get roots then about a month to two months later you'll notice babies. You can tell when the leaves have rooted with a gentle tug of the mother leaf. If there is any resistance, you know there's roots. Once the babies get a little bigger i light fertilize. When you water propogate, atleast in my experiences, ive had a lot of rotting. For my cups I just take little plastic disposable cups and cut small slits on the bottom ring to allow air into the roots and drainage. It takes a lot of patience but you can do it.
Yeah even with her gabbing I learned a lot, could you imagine if she cut 40% of that how much more he could've talked about and showed the varieties he brought, told us what that sawdust looking stuff was they put leaf cuttings in...
She seems pretty cool actually. Apparently she gets involved in tax evasion and I think shop lifting. The mom everyone wished they had. "Were did you get that from mom? Show me the recipe!"
Hahaha. Mid sentence, she cuts him off at the knees. That's our Martha!!
Let the man talk lady!! Least let him finish his sentence.
So annoying
It's amazing how you can get at least 3-4 baby plants from one leaf!!💕
"So what about feed... Food!"
"Yeah they need to be food... Fed!"
😂😂😂

Martha, Martha, Martha.
They didn't even show a close up or talk about the violets he brought that were in bloom...so disappointing
How far to hang the grow lights from the African Violets ? What distance any particular name brand grow light and what watt ?
Hello, tutorial video, If you please say about soil. Thanks 🙏.
Great advice. I am going to try, n will tell if it work
What is the medium used to bury the leaves?
Looks like either perlite or vermiculite, but I am no expert.
Tom Colletti yes it is :)

Angela Ryan I have watched this many times. Now that you mention it, you are correct. At least she invited him on her show.
What annoying situation, she is too excited/ anxious
What is the white growing medium that in the sandwich box where they are putting the leaves in?
Too bad the cameraman didn’t give anyone a closeup of the varieties brought that day! Why bother teasing the audience!
How to purchase. Thanks

Obviously this instructional video left a lot out. Thousand of people have questions that never was answered... I guess I better not ask...
What ph do African violet need

Yes, this really demonstrated how good of a host she is.
Îmi plac mult violetele asi dori o traducere și în lb.romana, pe curând.
I thought the leaves where suppose to grow flat across, not reaching up high for the sun?...
M Nunez They will flatten out as they grow.
A great video to watch is on Rick's orchids Channel. Go to his other playlist I think and he has a lot about growing African violets
No .puedo creer puedan mantener tantas. Ami se me mueren😣🇲🇽
What’s the white stuff they used in the propagation station
Jessica - it looked like a vermiculite and perlite mixture, really common propagation medium
i have never one time gotton one to grow other than in water for 45 years, they simply will not root for me, they always rot haha

If leaves are fuzzy or have short hairs, you don't want them to get wet when watering. And that goes for any plant with that type of leaves.
Only for cleaning, if wet leafs need to wife off quickly or leafs tend to rot!
Keep center leafs dry if you can help it or dab water off of center leafs,if can't water from bottom
Pena que não tem tradutor,mais like 👍👍👍
Are they harmful to Cats??
Martha, you talk too much, let the guy you invited actually get a word in!
Yeah even with her gabbing I learned a lot, could you imagine if she cut 40% of that how much more he could've talked about and showed the varieties he brought, told us what that sawdust looking stuff was they put leaf cuttings in...
Agree with you 100%. She won't let him finish a sentence!
She seems pretty cool actually. Apparently she gets involved in tax evasion and I think shop lifting. The mom everyone wished they had. "Were did you get that from mom? Show me the recipe!"
Yes, she interrupted constantly.
I said the same thing
Very rude woman!
those violets not healthy sorry
