Wish, reach in and *very* gently tug on a leaf. If there is resistance, it has rooted and you can begin hardening it off. I simply open the lid a little, then a little more the next day, then take them out the third day, keeping a close eye on them the whole time to make sure they're okay.

I have a pair of espresso cups with saucers from Cash & Carry that fit my 2 oz. portion cups perfectly; my babies look so cute!

Hello Wish,

A sucker should have a substantial root system after four weeks. That is as long as you need to keep them under plastic. Follow Korina's instructions for hardening them off and you will be set.

Korina,

Don't be dismayed. I use cute, adorable, sweet and babies to describe violets all the time.

Larry, it never would've happened if I'd stuck with bonsai... By-the-by, is your web site still up? I tried to visit (after a long time, sorry), and it didn't come up.

Korina

Thanks Guys!

Korina, I did just as you said, opening the container a ittle each day. I can't WAIT to get these mini's (my only minis are baby standards) into their teacups! I bought another one just today in anticipation...

I know I can always rely on the sage advice of you experts...

Thanks,

Wish

P.S. Count me in as well for using all the adjectives above!!
