I am certainly not a pro, but I have better luck rooting african violet leaves in only perlite evenly mixed with vermiculite . Then I don't have to worry about overwatering because you almost can't hurt anything with perlite and vermiculite (and you zip lock bag).......once you zip it up you probably won't even water again until the leaf is rooted and the bag is off.

As Lin says you will know when your leaf has rooted as she doesn't want to be pulled out.....a gentle tug will let you know when it is time to take the zip lock open or off.......

These are the av leaves that have babies and need to be planted up......see, no soil here
