New babies! Tips?

11 years ago

last modified: 11 years ago

I just made a post about my sick violets but I wanted to share my healthy new babies. Can I get some advice on how to raise them past this stage so they don't end up like the other violets? :c

They're all various optimara. I don't know what kind yet.

In the first picture there's a leaf in the back that's been growing in that soil for months. idk why it's taking so long compared to the others :P

((oh PS I know this topic probably has a million tutorials or articles about it but I get overwhelmed reading through so many so if you don't want to repeat yourself for the 100th time and just want to direct me to a good article, I would still be more than appreciative c: ))

Your plants look fine to me.

I'd let them grow as is until I felt comfortable with moving them to a 4" pot (See my response on your other post).

The last violet baby is just SHY. Give it more time to make its debut ...

Ok! That's what I figured, it was just being shy c: I'll continue to let it be and give it time. I'll just leave the other ones where they are then. I see some are multiple crowns already but i won't mess with them until they're bigger.

So new development. The already-sprouted babies have started to develop a darker color. They still have patches of their original, bright green color but now they're much duller. Otherwise, they don't seem to be any different. Should I be worried or is this normal?

As long as everything's GREEN, you should be fine.

Younger starting plants (and babies) often start with less color which eventually darkens.
