African Violets

AV babies :)

last modified: 9 years ago

I'm currently in my second term towards getting my Associates in horticulture. In my horticulture class we did some asexual propagation experiments and then also had the opportunity to propagate some other plants as well if we so chose. We checked them and repottedthose that had rooted today. All four of mine rooted! If I remember correctly they are all different from one another. They will each be getting their own pots in a couple weeks :)

Any advice for keeping them alive through winter? I live in Oregon.

Hello Oregon -

Same way as you keep a regular AV alive - water, light, air, fertilizer.

Your soil should be barely moist all the time - you can use the spray bottle to add some moisture to the soil every so often. Right now it looks on a dry side. If you have a place near the bright window - I guess there will be no problem with a direct sun in winter in OR - which can burn your leaves, You will the babies soon.

Good luck with your degree!

Glitche14,

What fun! Looks like there might be a little flower forming on your baby. If it was me I would pinch that off to let the little guy grow some more so he can support the bunches of flowers you'll be enjoying later. Ken
