African Violets and Gesneriads: suckers are what, 1 by RainGazer

Here's what I ended up with. Three suckers and three leaves. (The mom plant still needs more grooming, but I'll catch that later today.) I'll put the suckers down in moist potting mix and put them in a Ziploc baggie to keep them moist for a couple weeks. I usually bury them pretty deep in the potting mix, so that I can just see the center leaves. I don't have any mix made up, or I would put one down and show a picture. I've got to go get some mix ready now!
Usually it's pretty easy to tell when they've rooted as they start to grow like mad. If you just have to see if they've rooted, very gently tug on an outer leaf. You'll feel the resistance if it has rooted. Don't pull too hard, though, or you'll rip off any roots that have started to grow.
