Gessiegail,

African violets prefer pH in the 6.4 - 6.9 range (slightly acid)

Is your water 7.5 or the "land" ? What is the water pH? Easy to check with pH test strips.

Your seedlings are coming along nicely but those are not variegated ones. I think some of the seedpods on Iced Canadian Sunset (variegated) are ready to harvest today with more being ready later.
