Oh what a question for me. In the begining I wrote in a note book every leaf down where it came from , name desription ( did not have FC) date.... I order my first 100 leaves, had trade leaves, leaves from show/sale, leaves given to me at local group, and I always put leaves down from each and every plant.
Then as my health allowed me to do less I stopped. Having a good five hundred or more leaves down ... some die, we live in a very small single wide trailer in a 55 plus park. So as babies grow babies get new homes. I am saying with senserity I am excellent at growing babies by leaf. My first year, year and half I grew over a thousand varieties.
I went from a weak home bound to 95 percent bed bound.
To make a long story short I still have about 200 leaves down now ...I still put leaves down each day I can. I have 24 hour care and help. Growing av's and sharing them is a joy for me. I am awake maybe 3-4 hours total each 24 hour period. But as long as I can put leaves down I will be growing babies Av's and sharing them. I do have several big plants in windows blooming crazy year round :))
" I don't keep track of what I have and don't have anymore. But tell ya what ; each plant gets tender care touched and hand checked at least every other day. I keep a simple organized set -up. Each new baby , a new life excites and amazes me.

The number one ever blooming house plant ; "African violets " are so easy to grow and fun to share. They can make friends and be share all over the world .. Everyone !
