I love your videos! Are you still using the Barrina T5 Plug & Play Yellow lights, 2 per shelf on your plants? How are your AV's doing with this setup? Thanks.
@@gaylegarza4711 Appreciate your feedback! I haven’t used these since February due to construction in that room. They worked well for my plants at the time when I made this video.
Do you find this variety sucker a lot? I am having trouble keeping it with a single crown. I am thinking of tossing it.
@@sueli6377 Yes, mine tended to sucker too when I was growing it.
What is the name of that white leaf violet in your video?
@@user-fg4dl1dw3e Milk's Ten Cats (10759) 05/31/2015 (S. Fu) - a girl leaf chimera
I can't figure out how you get the wheels on.
❤❤❤
So beautiful! Is there a different way to grow these violets with huge blooms? I find the crown got mess up when they bloom. Sometimes the plant doesn’t recover after it blooms.
@@sueli6377 Depends on the variety. I found that this one, in particular, likes a bigger pot size. I grow it on a wick, and let it dry for a day before adding more water into wicking container. Happy growing!
@@grayturtlevioletsThanks for the tips! I see that you let your violets bloom freely and a lot of them have tonnes of blooms on them, however all the crown looks good. I am not able to achieve that and I can’t figure out how to keep the crown healthy when there after a heavy bloom.
@@sueli6377 I too experience this with some hybrids. Optimara varieties, for example, tend to bloom profusely in my growing environment, to the point that they often lose the crown center and I have to regrow them from leaves. Some minis and semis do it too. I try repotting those more often, and remove blooms and buds during repotting, every 3-6 months.
Oh I love SL Plants so healthy vibrant and unique
Where is a show of African Violets in Los Angeles please thanks 😊😊🌺

Amazing collection. I just got my first African violet. ❤
@@MsRoun thank you! Congrats on your first AV and happy growing!
great video. Thank you.
Wow I’ve never seen so many beautiful blooms! Whatever you’re doing is making all of the plants very happy 😻🌺 Hope you all are well. ❤
@@motled Thank you! It’s a lot of work, but they are worth it!🌸
What is the best yarn to use? I am trying 8ply acrylic or nylon knitting yarn.
@@WhipGirl25 I am using 4-ply acrylic knitting yarn for standards, and split it in half for miniatures.
I hope you are having a good summer. I have been looking forward to these new videos and music! Thank you for sharing.
@@SS11660 Thank you! Appreciate your feedback!🌸
Dear Gray Turtle, I enjoy all the updates of your collection of African Violets. What a wonderful collection you have, and how well you grow them all. Thank you for sharing all of this with us. We really do appreciate all that you do. Sincerely, Larry Clarence Lewis London, Ontario, Canada.
@@larrylewis3573 Appreciate your feedback!🌸
Thanks!
@@karenspencer763 Appreciate your support!🌸
Wondering if you sell any of those. I would be very interested purchasing from you if possible!
@@yolyprog2561 I might have a few extras later in fall, check out grayturtleviolets on eBay, U.S. only.
I hope your remodeling is going well! Your videos inspired me to find a variegated A.V. and now I'll be on the lookout for a wasp variety. Those leaves are neat! And Emilie Savage is AMAZING - I really like the frilled edges too :3
これらのお花はどうすれば入手出来ますか?
In this video, I talk about the places where I buy plants for my collection: czcams.com/video/gP4Zr5MXmRI/video.html
I have Cupid’s Jewel! I added it to my recent Lyndon Lyon order as an afterthought. It’s my favorite now. The picture on the Lyndon Lyon website didn’t do it justice. The color is great and it blooms like crazy. It’s like having a tiny peony bush at home.
@@BearLikeFire Cupid’s Jewel is one of my must haves, love everything about it!
Wow, Very gorgeous collection ❤️
Amazing! you never let us down, simply beauties.
Just gorgeous. I have a few now just started. I have a varaged one. To but dont know what its called. But the top leaves are green now. Do i cut them off to keep it variegated.
@@wandawilson6266 The new leaves that grow from the center, or the top of the crown, often show variegation later on, as they mature - keep them. Happy growing!
What an amazing collection of you have 👏👏👏
Dear Gray Turtle, I have watched many of your videos on your collection of violets. What an amazing collection you have, and, what is equally amazing is how beautiful and healthy your violets are. I am elderly and have only a few violets which I have purchased at the grocery store. They have done well and reward me with an abundance of blooms. I don’t expect you answer this type of question, but, if you would, I would be very grateful. I would like to obtain a single-flowering violet which is a dark blue with a white edge, and I would also like to obtain a single-flowering violet which is deep purple with a white edge. The white edge should be smooth, but a slight ruffle is also fine. If you could tell me the names of such varieties, or, where I could search for them, I would be very appreciative. Once I pin down the names, I might have to ask you for sources, since I am in Canada. In advance, thank you for your assistance if you are able to provide it. Sincerely, Larry Clarence Lewis London, Ontario, Canada.
@@larrylewis3573 Appreciate your feedback! For Canada, check Bloomlovers: bloomlovers.com. Happy growing!
Здравствуйте! Очень рада была найти ваш канал. Прекрасные видео. Хорошая подача информации, великолепная коллекция. Многому у вас учусь. Так, микоризах была для меня полезным открытием. Желаю вам творческих успехов, здоровья , достатка и благополучия!
Thank you for posting this video. I am very, very new to African Violets. I love to see the varieties out there
You are very welcome! Happy growing!
Because of your terrific reviews I have added new African violets to my collection. I’ve always had African violets my entire married life, but only a few at a time. Now at 80 yrs young I am up to 9 but still adding. Ness crinkle blue is always “out of stock” but it’s a must for me to have so I will keep trying. African violets ask very little of me but bring me such joy. Thank you for all your reviews
@@Ruffles-fs5qe Thank you for the wonderful feedback! Happy growing!
Są boskie 😍🤤 Różowe najlepsze 🤩
What a show! Your videos are inspiring!
@@sandrastreifel6452 Thank you!🌸
For addicts like us, minis and micros mean we can fit more plants in our space! Thanks so much for your educational reviews!
Love your episcias videos !
Wonderful! Thanks. Now I am armed with better information. I will try again. Thanks.
Go back to Wick Watering.
I did! Just for the summertime :)
I've been doing this for years with a plant that was my mother's. This last time, the lower leaves have all wilted. I tried repotting on new soil, but the leaves won't perk up.
@@naomiojala7144 It happens sometimes, I usually let it root and grow new leaves, and then remove the older leaves. Some need a bit more humidity, so I keep them domed while they are recovering.
What a great and super helpful video. You demonstrated all sorts of situations that could come up when propapaging these plants. Thank you so much. It turns out that I have to be a lot more patient before I can separate the babies, but thanks to your video (which I will safe), I am prepared when the time comes. I will subscribe and see what other tips you have. :)
@@adventuresandreams Appreciate your feedback! Glad it’s been helpful. Happy growing!
Thanks for the great video. I have successfully grown baby plants, but I used one bigger container for four leaves. I was wondering how big the babies should get before I seperate them into their individual conainers. I'm so excited to see them grow. The leaves came from my mom, which makes them extra special. :)
@@adventuresandreams Congrats on propagation success! I show when and how I separate them in this video, check it out: czcams.com/video/B5EP83hoFho/video.htmlsi=1LS9mSQ7OQ-sgmaF
@@grayturtleviolets Thank you so much for your fast reply and super helpful second video! Subscribed! :)
neked vannak fent a legjobb videóid az ibolyákról, annyit hozzátennék, ha valaki nem nagyban szaporítja őket és mondjuk 4.14 levelet nevel mondjuk egy műanyag zöldségtartóban, lehet a tetejére, aljára lukakat fúrni és meglesz a szellőzés is, azt szeretném kérdezni, hogy kinek mennyi idő alatt bújnak ki a kicsik a földből, mert először nevelek levélről és majdnem 8 hete tettem el 6 levelet, ami 4 féle ibolyáról került hozzám, és nagyon jól le vannak gyökeresedve, de kicsiknek nyoma sincs egyiknél sem ..mikor elültettem, akkor visszavágtam 3 centisre a szárat, és a levél széléig tettem a földbe fahéjba mártva a szárakat, a föld homok, általános föld és perlit keveréke , van akinek 3-4 hónap, mire meglátja az első kicsiket ???
Thank you! Depends on the variety, some produce offspring in 2 months, the slowest ones can take up to 6 months. Here is a video showing when and how I separate baby plants from mother leaf: czcams.com/video/B5EP83hoFho/video.htmlsi=GKJ-DcVF5U6wEVUR. Happy growing!
Thank you so much for showing me how to set up the wick watering way. Most helpful. 🎉
@@betteneiman8033 Glad it’s been helpful! Happy growing!
Thank you for making this video, I have decided on using the rack stand with wheels.
@@naomineal1785 Great choice! Appreciate your feedback!
My Led grow lights have the option of choosing white, red and or blue light. I can do any combo. Do you suggest one that would be best for African Violets? Love your channel, and thank you for your advice.
@@meghanplamondon8639 Appreciate your feedback! Here is a video about all of my light setups, including pinkish white and yellow grow lights, hope you find it helpful: czcams.com/video/8evlmRe58Fc/video.htmlsi=lrxjlJnv8dR9lroP
Thank you for a good lesson. I never removed the blooms of a new plants and yesterday I found a bugs on my AV. Now I now how to treat the new plants.
Glad it’s been helpful. Appreciate your feedback!
Thank you for your very educational videos. I learn so much and your videos are so nicely made. I do have a question. With the mother leaf, I waited until one of the baby leaves is the size of a quarter and I decided to separate it from the mother leaf and plant it in its own cup following your instructions. But in doing that, I found 5 baby plants! I put each in their own new cup, but of course only one of those babies had a leaf the size of a quarter, the other 4 just had tiny leaves. I put all 5 in separate pots and I wonder, can I expect even the babies to thrive? I just don't know if they are big enough or have enough roots to survive and I am curious about your experience with the success of planting even these small babies. Thank you!
Appreciate your feedback! I found that often one leaf can produce several baby plants, so if I see only one baby plant, I wait a bit longer for the other ones to emerge. If the oldest baby is strong enough, usually with 2-3 rows of leaves, I separate it and keep the smaller ones with mother leaf until they grow stronger. I did try planting them when they had only one row of leaves, some survived, and others didn’t, so only time will tell. Happy growing!
@@grayturtleviolets Super, thank you for your reply. So glad I can watch your videos and learn from you. Happy growing!
