How to Grow African Violets

A well grown African violet is a treat for the eyes.   This is a miniature variety.

To grow this plant, cut the large outer leaves at the base at an angle.

Note that even a damage leaf  will do.

Stick the leaves in a small jar with just enough water to cover the end of the stem. Make sure that only the stem is touching the water -- African violets do not like to keep water on their leaves.

 

Wait until the roots are strong enough before planting them in soil.  Sometimes leaves sprout near the roots.

 

With tender loving care and good soil, you will be delighted to see the   above result.  Have fun.
