Wow, Debra! Your "jungle" realy looks like a Jungle!!!
However--everything looks healthy .
What is the plant with the 2 pink blooms in pic. #4 in your 1st set?

Yes! Keeping up with all these plants is a chore---but I do it piecemeal.

Didn't show you where my African Violet set-up is. I have 55 of them! All sizes...
The problem is that NONE of them have bloomed in almost 3 years.
I think the thing is that they are just too cold on the shelves that run all along
the nase of thet BIG LR window, as well as on those little hanging shelves by my DR window.
The AV's are just a couple inches away from the glass.. The light there is also so-so--
as the patio roof just outside shades the window somewhat.

SO! I decided to put them all on a card table in the DR corner. Bought a hanging light
and now I keep it on all day. I also re-potted every single AV--big or small--in
some amazing potting mix.

Now I am just hoping to see some blooms. I would be ecstatic!
