Wow Allison. They look great. I don't have any babies yet but it has only been a week. Yours look so pretty and healthy.

I agree, Allison....they're lovely, and you're *so* good at leaf propagation......I know I keep telling you that, but it just amazes me, so I can't say it enough!

If you recall, I'd said I propagated a couple of AV's from leaves about a year and a half ago, and it has taken that long from them to get any 'real size' to them!
One even has blooms at the moment.....I've been trying to give them more attention recently.

Thank you, so much! And let me know if there's anything I can do for you!

Mine are coming along but no babies yet. They have only been down for about a week though. But I'm keeping a close eye on them. I can't wait to see those little babies pop up.

Haven't checked in here for awhile. Jesse, your trimmed plant looks good.

Thanks Nanna. I'm trying really hard to keep my pretty plant happy. I hope that it stays looking nice.

You are doing a wonderful job with all your plants. Congradulation!

Thanks Nanna. So how are your plants doing? How are your violets doing? I hope that they are doing well.

They are, Jesse. thanks for asking. This is the first spring that I have a number of plants and many leaves set. Also my first spring with flo lighting stands. I'm trying to make sure they get enough light but not too much. I am waiting for the leaves I set in May to start earing. The March batch is doing very well.

Fertilizer was a big problem for me. But I finally figured out what to do. You might want to check your plants too. I started wicking using the grid and the trays. I found out the accumulated fertilizers and salts caused the centers of my plants to tighten. Everything is now resting for a month with no fertilizer. I guess I will try 1/4 strength the first watering and the second watering just use plain water. That would get me through two weeks then I will clean the trays and begin again. It is too hard trying to do everything in one day. I'd like to get a routine going.

Well! There you are. Ask a simple question and get a book!

I really like the leaves on your plant.

Your plant looks so great Jesse sense you re-potted took leaves off and trimming browns spots off. This is a good way to care for all your plants !
Any old leaves, damaged, not to mention does not look nice but scares the plant and they put all their energy into trying to repair themselves . You gave them a lot of good help !
