From a leaf I 'borrowed'

21 years ago

This is from one of the two leaves I borrowed from the almost dead, home improvement store violets. The other is a blue that finally sprouted some babies last week. Guess it was around the beginning of the summer when I potted up the leaves. The flower opened up this morning. This guy measures 3 1/2 inches at its widest point. How would it be classified?

It's likely a mini that hasn't reached its full growth yet. It'll probably reach a diameter of around 6". Very pretty.

You might want to think about putting it in a smaller pot.

How small should I go? This one is 2 1/2 inches.

Diameter of the pot should equal 1/3 the diameter of the plant. Pretty small. If you can find 1 oz. condiment cups, that'll work great. Otherwise, find a 2 oz. cup at a grocery store or Subway or wherever, and just don't fill it all the way. Remember to poke a hole in the bottom.

It's happy and blooming right now. Is this when I really want to muck with it? I am being very careful with watering.

When it finishes blooming would be a good time to repot.
