    Love this! I do it basically the same way, but I start them in their own little pots in a zip lock baggie. This way I don’t have to mess with untangle their fragile roots from one another! :)

    This is interesting . I’ll try this way next time.I have a bunch of leafs I’m propagating right now. I stick the leafs in small tiny plastic cups and put these little pots inside one of those clamshells plastic containers they sell strawberries in. I figured those containers are like mini greenhouses. I’m intrigued that you didn’t water the leaves for such a long time!

    • @natalieburg5701
      @natalieburg5701 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In the sealed container the water doesn't evaporate and soil moisture stays very consistent so that the young roots don't accidentally dry out and you lose the cutting.

    Great video! When I propagate my african violets I use the ziploc method but I only can fit two 4in. pots at a time. Also Erika, you can cut the leaves in half and make two plants.

      I usually don’t either, but I wanted to pack the soil down. I also don’t think it’s a problem to water from above as long as you don’t wet the leaves. I’m still gonna keep watering from the bottom tho 😉

    Great video I like that it’s easy this is my first time propitiating an African violet. Ended up with root rot. I had repotted her in a miracle gro potting mix that retains more moisture, BIG MISTAKE 😩😩 now I have to be repotting all my plants because the mix had a mud like tendency 😩😩 I hope my propagations come out great. I love African violets. What is pure light or pure life that you mentioned that can be mixed with the miracle gro, after the propagation?

    • @natalieburg5701
      @natalieburg5701 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It is a bit hard to hear if you aren't familiar with soil mix components. She suggested to use "perlite" which is added to increase drainage and make your soil 'fluffy' which violets enjoy. They like to be moist and humid but hate cloggy, muddy soil mix. Some people also use charcoal or a mix of both.
      edit-if you look at the mix she is using, the white pieces are the perlite.

It’s so much fun propagating them, especially when you see the baby leaves pop up. I never seen a variegated one in person, did you buy them in store or online? I don’t remember if you featured this in a hauls video in the past. It’s gorgeous!

  • @junieb247
    @junieb247 ปีที่แล้ว

    This video was very good! I did the same thing from one leaf, but I went ahead and planted it in a pot with dirt so I wouldn't have to transplant. What I did is fit a sandwich size baggie over the pot. It stayed moist the entire time the baggie was on it and I could watch the progress without disturbing it. I have an old violet that needs to be transplanted and it's looking sad. It's daughter plant is huge and luscious with white flowers all over it. I started it over a year ago and have just started a new one a couple months ago. I'd like to know how long you keep the original plant when it starts looking really sad. LOL. I just hate throwing them out... It's got four little blooms so why do I want to get rid of it? But it really is ugly besides the blooms 😂. Also when the violet starts creating a tight crown in the middle, is it time to start a new one? Someone had mentioned that a violet loses its continuity after about a year or two and you throw it out. What is your opinion on that? Sorry for the long post!

    • @natalieburg5701
      @natalieburg5701 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I hope you haven't thrown out the mother plant yet? Poor girl! African violets can live virtually indefinitely, many well longer than 20 years with only normal care. Mumma probably just needs some nice fertiliser and she'll pick up again. Choose a specific AV fertiliser, or for better information and support, there are African Violet growers clubs in or near most cities, and most will also have a FB page where they will be happy to answer your questions.
      You can also remove the older leaves from the stem to propagate more, then replant Mumma with her crown at soil level and she'll be good to go. Some people "decapitate" their AVs when they get 'tall', so they cut off that growth crown and replant it. There are a lot of videos of this, and if you simply search something like "refresh old African violet" you should see many ways to do this.
      I'd NEVER throw out a violet, especially not one as young as a year or two! Whoever told you this is very misguided. Perhaps they want you to buy more?
      You can start a new one anytime by removing any of the lower leaves. The tight crown is just fast new growth. In time those leaves become lower leaves. African violets grow upward from the centre.
      Good luck, and be patient. Violets grow very strongly and last many many years. There are times when they don't look their best, but I promise you, unless there is a disease, they spring back with more beautiful blooms.

      They bloom pretty often! Maybe in a couple of months (or less) more flowers will show up. If they’re super happy they bloom more often. It’s also year round which is nice to have color even in the darker months ☺️
