OK. So 3 days ago I started propagating African violets in my room, and even though I know that the process takes on average 3-5 months to get a strong and stable African Violet by propagation in water (my preferred method) I'm still soooo not taking the waiting well. Right now I'm working on propagating 8 African Violets. I'll probably keep 3 and the other 5 will be gifts to friends. They are simple violets, purple nothing really special about petal shape or the pattern on them. Just propagation's of your cheap everyday $2-3 store bought violets. But hey! it's the thought that counts.
Why did I start this process if I knew that it would take forever and drive me pretty much insane? Well, My friend Kara said that she wanted to get a plant that was fairly easy to care for and still really pretty that she could grow in her bedroom. Naturally I thought of African Violets and in an effort to save her money I am trying to propagate my mothers violet for her. So my two best friends each get a violet and then the other 3 I need to give away will go to some of my other friends that I trust NOT to kill them ... anyways in posts to come I will give people some wise advice on what not to do to African Violets.
Later,
