If they are a year old they should be full size plants. I would say they should be in their own in pots by now unless you want to grow them in a decorative terarrium setting. If that is the goal you apparently have a good balance of humidity etc. and they should be fine.

If you want to pot them in individual pots first wean them off the humid enviornment and into the normal "air". Once that is done, pot up individual plants in small pots and care for them. You should be good to go. Hope that answers your questions. Rosie

Rosie,

Thanks for replying. See the picture. The top one lives outside the box in the past year, the bottom one lives inside the box all the time. I don't know if you can see the difference in the pictures.

the bottom one look more glossy. I wonder if I can grow most av in humidity dome since I can water less and the plant is healthier. However, I didn't see anybody discuss it. Maybe there is some side effects growing inside the dome for long term?

Thanks

Elsa

Those are two varieties of African Violet, though they both look very healthy,

Some AV varieties are more glossy, ... some less. Some are more ruffled, ... some less. Some lighter in color, some darker ...

I believe the only ill effect of growing in domes is lack of circulating air which shouldn't be a problem as long as your temperatures don't drop too low. If they do, plants are more susceptible to disease. I grow some violets in domes that have a vent on the top. I usually leave the vent partially open. I have kept some violets in there for many months with no ill effects. Night temperatures in my house rarely drop below 65 degrees.

The domed plants are ones that aren't wicked so as you know, the need for watering is reduced and I like that! I don't really find much of a difference in flower quality or quantity from those growing in the open but I do feel the leaves are often more lush looking.

Aegis, Terri,. Thank you. I'm glad someone also grow the AV in the dome. I think I will put some AV which are not on wick in the dome. I grow AV at the window sill, on top of the radiator. In the winter, these AV in the dome are cooking on top of the radiator but it's seems they enjoy it. :D
