African Violet Thread

Since there appears to be a few here interested in AVs, I thought a thread for these wonderful little house plants would be appropriate.
To start new plants from your "mother" just cut a leaf and place it in a cup of water with aluminum foil like this until the leaf grows alot of roots.

Here is a plant I started recently from a single leaf. Note the large leaf which is the leaf that used to be in a cup of water w/ foil. I start these new plants and give them to family and friends as gifts.

This is the "mother plant" from where the leaves are from. Its a very beautiful plant that is usually loaded with flowers, normally more than now but it will be making alot of flowers really soon. More buds are forming all the time. It lives in my kitchen which gets a nice Sunrise and a good Southern son in the Winter months
