You'll want to divide those crowns and pot them separately. Otherwise, they'll grow all twisted.

How do you divide them? Do you cut them or can they be separated by the roots? I've never done that before

It's a great video demo. I would just mention that with your Black Pearl Sport, it probably has just two separate plants that were formed from one mother leaf. So they should be easy to separate with an Xacto knife or nimble fingers. Try to retain some roots on each, if possible.

I usually poke a few holes in the bottom of the condiment cup with the Xacto knife.

The video is of an African violet at a more advanced stage of growth, grown under poor conditions that caused it to form many suckers and probably is an Optimara. So the procedure is more drastic than what you will probably have to do. Some Optimaras that are commercially grown tend to form suckers as they are grown more for bloom. The Optimara suckers tend to also grow roots very quickly. She also has a video allied separating baby african vil0ets started from leaves. Joanne

Jonboyny- Thank You, it helped a lot!

Joanne- I was nervous after watching this video. Mine was simple only 2 crowns. All the roots were intact, there was more on 1 then the other but still a good amount. Hopefully they get settled quick and start growing. Thank you for the help!

HI, that sounds typical that one small plant has most of the roots. Do put a plastic dome over them. Sometimes, if there are many babies from a leaf, and two are close together, I don't take them all apart at one time. I just separate out the ones that are biggest and easiest to untangle. If you decide to root leaves, you will often get multiple small plants. After you do this a few times, you will get the hang of it. Anne Marie goes nice and slow on her videos. Another video she did shows separating just a couple of babies from a mother leaf. Do let us know how they come along in a few weeks. Joanne

I didn't have a dome so I put them in a big ziploc. I will keep you posted!!
