I had so-so germination success. My main problem...I wound up underwatering the seeds initially. Changed the setup to self-watering and I managed to save three plantlets. The seedlings really took off after the increased moisture levels! 🎉

[@Loveofpets]

This was very interesting. I used to have African Violets and miss them.
Thank you

[@Xezbethnovitch]

against thrips i recommend predatory mites that eats the thrips. they saved my violets!

[@marium1866]

VERY exciting!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@FishPondHaver]

I always enjoy seeing your videos, but you make me want to buy more plants that I don’t have room for 😂

[@Wendy-zl8kv]

Oh Danny they are so beautiful!!
I’ve never seen African violets like that.
I can’t wait to see your new ones! Exciting!

[@davchow8124]

That is the fun of growing flowering plants, can develop new species. It’s a great hobby.

[@dawnsaurora]

I had no idea that you did African violets as well. Would love to see how they are looking nowadays

[@plantwaif]

Can’t wait for the next instalment!

[@atlramona]

I’ve been enjoying this and making chimeras.

[@LilyAmongThorns]

Love it!! This is so educational and fun too!! ❤️👍🏼

[@suneethajayawickrema3091]

This is so ediucetionl, Thank you very much indeed .

[@teresabrockett7525]

This is exciting! Can't wait to see what happens next. :)

[@witheredaway6747]

Ooooooooh so exciting!

[@beyondthesea18]

These videos on african violets have inspired me to love mine so much more! I've just been trying to induce mine to flower (any suggestions would be helpful TT) but now I want to try cross-pollinating them too!

[@jonestrebles6441]

Miracle grow liquid fertilizer in their water (and bottom water them) got mine to flower :)

[@sierra734]

Yes I will try this tfs very interesting 🌸

[@jamieschriver4813]

Very interesting.. thanks for sharing

[@pinkbeachlulu]

How do you know when seed pod is ready to be taken off plant and what do you do with it after you’ve removed it from plant?

[@catherineh8606]

This is so interesting

[@rachelreynolds5863]

Have you ever thought about diatomaceous earth for the thrips? It saved my collection!

[@AdamG319]

Need help. Have been unable to cross my violets. I have 7 and nothing has taken. Any ideas? Are double flowers harder to get seed pods from? Can you recommend a way to keep stems alive long enough to produce a seed pod? Any recommendations?

[@marlenebornman1841]

,exciting

[@imb5128]

This is amazing

[@high_fructose_corn_syrup]

Question.. when you let them go to seed, did they stop producing more flowers?

[@blawson3603]

I've been seriously curious how these flowers are pollinated. I never succeeded so far

[@christineplaton3048]

You didn't explain. The seed pod is in a different flower? You didn't enlarge and can't see the pod

[@christineplaton3048]

How can you find the name of a variety you have? Is there an identification method or site

[@randihardy6642]

so interesting!

[@annettefriscia2370]

I think you are amazing such knowledge , is I keep trying with African violets and I have no luck , perhaps u can explain on 🌊 ng feeding and light, I love the violets but I am frustrated with no luck. Help

[@IsomerMashups]

How long did it take until you could tell that the pollination had worked? I attempted to cross several of my African Violets about 3 weeks ago and I'm concerned because the stamen doesn't even look slightly swollen. I've just kept pollinating other flowers in hopes one of them will actually take.

[@lolettablair8641]

Can you get a plant from the seeds?

[@sallyrigsby2354]

I love the freezing rain av. I can't seem to find it anywhere to buy one. Can you advise?

[@kuromi6665]

i wish i could show you this cute intergeneric hybrid i found. i think its a beallara of some sort

[@charlotteannestudio]

Good luck 🤞 😁
