I got it at Lowe's tonight. It's tagged, Violet, Mini. Very specific, wouldn't you say? LOL So I have no clue what variety it is. It is in a tiny 2.25 inch pot and is just cute as a button! The flowers are light purple and have an iridescence to them in the light. You can probably see it in the picture. I'm so tickled with it!
I see no evidence of it being potbound. No roots showing through the drain holes. Think it would be alright to leave it in this pot for a while?
I checked it as carefully as I could, with the knowledge I have, for pests or disease and don't see any, though I know that doesn't mean they're not there. I'm going to be doing a Bayer Tree and Shrub drench on all my houseplants as soon as they need to be watered again, as I found mealy bugs on one of my hoyas. Can I use that on this AV as well? I could bottom water it with the BT&S. Would that be alright, do you think?
Just had to share!
