    Hi, thanks for the tour. Your collection is wonderful. To have so many blooming at the same time and so many of the same size is quite an accompishment. It is a show-case of beauty.
    You have some charming vintage beauties plus a carefully curated collection of newer hybridizers. I wish you great joy and happiness with this charming "avocation" shared with others.

    Your collection of violets is magical! So beautiful!! I have only just started growing them. I got my first plant a year ago. It took a year for it to re-bloom but it was worth the wait. I now have five violets, three being brand new. Your videos inspire me to grow these plants!

    Love your violets absolutely gorgeous, just wish I could find some like them around where I live. I have 10 and that are pinks blues, and dark purple, no doubles or speckled ones. Thanks for showing

    I like the sport of Irish Fling better than original. Amazing

    Self watering. You don’t watering a little in the top ???? Once a week ???

    • @grayturtleviolets
      @grayturtleviolets  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      All of mine are wick watered, no top watering needed with the wick watering method because it keeps potting medium moist as long as there is water in reservoirs. In this video I show how I wick water my plants, check it out: th-cam.com/video/iHcYCCjPVGo/w-d-xo.html

    Hello, can you please help me on some tips. I watered my African Violeta and all the leaves got wet. Is it going to kill the plant?😢

    • @grayturtleviolets
      @grayturtleviolets  ปีที่แล้ว

      African Violets can handle water on leaves fine, just don’t expose them to direct sun light before the water droplets evaporate from the leaf surface.

      @@grayturtleviolets thank you for your reply but I place my poor plant outside and then poor the water. The big leaves looks a bit reddish. I hope it survives 😔
