Congratulations!! Isn't it fun finding those babies?
Congrats Kelly!!!!! I just put my leaves from Allison down the other day so I have a bit to wait, And can hardly wait to be a new *mom*...Lauri
3 weeks is REMARKABLE fast Lauri. I hate to say it but it usually takes a couple of months or more to see babies.
Way to go!! It is so exciting when you see those first little ears - I had my first ones not long ago, and now am eagerly waiting for more.

Kelly this is really fast ! So exciting seeing little baby ears coming out to say Hi to their Mom ! They are very happy with the care you give them :))
I know VF-11 helps ! What ever I use VF-11 grows better ! Kelly whatgrowing method are you using for Mom leaves and babies ?
Spider how exciting ! Each new babies ears excite me ! I am so Happy for you your first ones !
Great goinging you too !
allison i am using the 3oz. solo cups with 5 drainage holes in the bottom. i did use rooting horomone on them. i am using the scotts african violet mix. i have been watering with the VF-11 when the soil starts to look dry. i didn't have any perlite when i potted the leaves up and didn't want to drag the kids out to get some. i will try perlite sometime though. i know all of you like the perlite.
