I currently only have like 10-plants but I have put down 30+ leaves. My first leaf batch I put down from Chiqui have been growing beautifully. I am waiting for the little plantlets to grow larger before potting them up into their own pots. I have a tray full of minis and micro-minis from G. Kim ...

I did some more AV repotting today. Got cancelled from work (didn’t know whether to be sad or glad… Xd) and had some time on my hands. Separated some Green Dragon babies from the momma leaf and potted those up. I hope it grows well! I accidentally broke off the plantlet as I was lift...

22°C / 71°FInspired by AMK’s Trailer video (featuring the now very famous AV), as well as the very wonderful and happy growth of my very own AV – I decided to repot. For trailers it is suggested to grow them in shallow containers as trailers have shallower root balls than standard violets. So&#...

Lessons learned and an impending move
Tammy Foondle Showing True Leaves, Arabian Night Repotted, African Violet 'Lucky Ladybug' , African Violet ...Maybe moving before the heat strikes in and while the growing season is yet to be full affect is a good thing. Of course, by the time I am fully moved, it will be June/July so the growing season will probably be over. However, given the weather… Who knows. All I know is that the patio is ...

So, a long time back (months, actually) I received 2 asparagus roots (tubers? they are more like roots… corms? CROWNS! <—- I Googled) from a Geek friend. I never got around to planting them up for a long while and then, for the last couple months/weeks, I forgot about them. Well, I...Mostly Cloudy 16°C / 61°F -

It was supposed to be an hour but it ran an extra half hour. Eh. I got paid for it and if I had to be be there, might as well have made it worth my time, right? So I put off doing the laundry by delegating it to my darling hubbers. He will get it done tomorrow and so, toda...

Clear 21°C / 70°FI had a few AV that had put out babies in my forsythe pot that need some major attention. I finally got around to it (but still haven’t potted up my Dahlias!) and got the little buggers all potted up and wicking in their baby bottles. If it weren’t for a work meeting in the middle of...

A gift from a fellow African Violet Nerd
African Violet 'Mac's Pizza Pizzicato' , African violet 'Rob's Cool Fruit' , African Violet 'Rob's Love Bit...Clear 21°C / 70°FI am a frequent frequenter of an African Violet Group on FB. Everyone who is anybody is there so I get to rub virtual shoulders with the African Violet greats. Ha ha ha! Ok, so enough with snobberies. Whilst perusing the postings and drooling over pictures, I happened to mention that I would lov...

Clear 22°C / 72°FI went internet shopping! And, even though I was being so good about waiting and only buying things I can see, touch, smell, and examine… I couldn’t resist the prices! I am sure they advertised in previous AOS Orchid magazines but, for some odd reason, they just caught my eye the othe...

Today, I got my Pings. 3 little rose shaped clumps of soon to be great joy. Fingers crossed. Nothing better to take a girl’s mind off of impending doom then new green friends to entertain her with their new mysteries, challenges, and opport...
