I’m in Oregon also. Love your violets as always. I wish the rain would stop so I could get in the garden lol. Territorial seeds here in Oregon is a good place to get seeds also. Thank you
Nice to meet a fellow Oregonian! Looks like we finally got a sunny spring weather this week. Even though I must admit - love the rain! I’ll check them out, thanks for the referral!
Happy spring, 🐥🐥 🌺🌺....glad you back...... nice additions. ❤️❤️❤️. My additions/finds recently are; Hunter's Slippery When Wet, Whisper Blue, Wrangler's Big Country, New Years Eve ,and finally Sun Sizzle. All I got at my local nursery. They all were with tiny buds just down in the foliage so I left them, and now....some are blooming quickly during recent arrival/ adaption period at my space. Great for a while now ,but alas some did just abort during isolation (at my new space) from the rest of the collection.( Maybe lower light in isolation caused this to happen ....yes? My other violets are slow to awake from winter. They definitely have different ways of growing per named variety. I want to see them bloom just like when I got most of them.
I'm still trying to get that better grow shelf with LED lighting. African violet online growers have given me to many choices,and cost of everything continues to rise. Fortunately I have good light from my large south facing window. Maybe I will send you a picture of my blooming, happy violets in front of this window.... soon ok,? 😎/Cool.
Good luck this spring ......can't wait for your next month of blooming violets, and shelf plants. J
.
Congrats on your new additions, hope they do well! I found that some varieties are easier than others, I've lost quite a few as well. There is no universal recipe: some need more light, some less; some like wick watering, others don't; some like it cooler, others warmer, etc. - never a dull moment, lol! Happy growing!
What a beautiful collection! Nice work. You should be proud! 👍
Thank you, I enjoy growing them!🌸💕
Looks like you have added some new Russian varieties. They are beautiful. Good luck with your garden.
Thank you! Yes, some Russian, and Ukrainian hybrids, too!
@@grayturtleviolets do they require different care?
@@SS11660 Nope, I grow them the same way as all others.
Happy Spring. I love when the blooms are so abundant and clustered so that they resemble a bouquet of hydrangea blooms.. like your Boo Man. So beautiful! Aly's Blizzard Bunny is soooo cute! and I love daffodils, that's great to see them in your garden. I'm inspired. Hope you're well and having a lovely day. ❤
Thank you! Boo Man is a keeper, for sure! Still getting to know Aly’s Blizzard Bunny, just got it last fall, it is a cutie, indeed!🌸💕
All the violets are so pretty, but my favorite was the one with the pink bell flowers. I switched to Dyna gro orchid fertilizer and all of my larger plants are blooming or have buds! The other thing you have inspired me to do is to switch to wick watering. I think it is going to work well for both the plants and me. I do have a question though with the wick watering, do the plants get fungus gnats since the soil never dries out? If so, how do you get rid of them? Thanks for sharing your knowledge on Africa violets. I know I am doing better with mine since I started watching your videos.
Thank you, glad it’s been helpful! I did not experience fungus gnats due to wick watering. In the past, when I was new to growing them, I once experienced them when using store-bought potting soil, it must have had their eggs. Since then, I make my own potting mix, so far so good.
Beautiful peaceful video thank you! Just wondering if I am able to wick water new violets in bloom. Thank you.
Thank you! Here is my intake process for newly acquired plants, check it out: czcams.com/video/FR3srOXimVY/video.html
Good morning. It was so nice to have a coffee and watch your video. My favorite is “musical notes “ and “vanilla “ trailing violet. My violets not so lucky . I think I overfeed couple. Little Maya and Midnight Waterfall look weird. But worst is some very small fling bugs. Is it possible to kill bugs and not to kill violets?
Thank you, glad they were enjoyable! Yes, it’s doable! Here is how I treat mine: czcams.com/video/FR3srOXimVY/video.html
Thanks for sharing, do you have any for sale, l have African violet but not those big ones.
When I have extras, I usually offer them on eBay (grayturtleviolets) during warm shipping season. Thank you for your interest!
Such beautiful AV! I’m new to your channel, and the hobby of African Violets. Do you sell the leaves or plantlets by chance? If not, where might I be able to find miniatures? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thank you! I usually purchase mine from Lyndon Lyon, Woodland Blooms, Fancy Bloomers, Bloomlovers, and eBay sellers with positive feedback. Occasionally, when I have extras, I offer them on eBay (grayturtleviolets), during warm shipping season. Thank you for your interest!
@@grayturtleviolets and thank you for the list of seller’s. I will be checking them out very soon.
Hello , long time to hear from you!!! Your violets are gorgeous!! Great job!! Could you please tell me what products do you use to fight insects on AV. I have little fly , using insecticidal soup, no results!! Anything stronger than this product!! Thanks
Thank you! I definitely recommend Bonide Systemic Insect Control, here is my treatment regimen: czcams.com/video/FR3srOXimVY/video.html
I have looked everywhere for LE Madame Pompadour. Love your video and the blooms on her are so gorgeous. Do you have a source for leaves or do you plan to sell any? Is your plant still doing well?
I got an extra starter that I might offer on eBay this spring, thank you for your interest!
@@grayturtleviolets ooo! I will have to watch!
