Has many good methods !
African violets are generally very easy to grow from leaf regardless of the method used. We say "generally" because different methods work better for different people depending upon many variables, and certain varieties -- and sometimes individual plants -- are slower to produce plantlets or "babies" than others. Outlined here are a couple of methods that have worked quickly and easily for us in varying environments and should work well for most people.
