2009-01-07T18:59:00.000-05:00

Nance, I read that these plants like their roots cramped in a pot. Re-pot them only when they are way, way too big for the pot.

2009-01-07T13:14:00.000-05:00

I love gardening! We have african violets and I don't want to touch it as I'm afraid it will die. They grow good by the window.

2009-01-07T12:08:00.000-05:00

hello Nance,

thanks for visiting--you're always welcome to come back.

i used to have a colleague who propagated african violets indoors--that is, in our office. she would put the pots by the window and take care of them until they grow, then distribute them in each work station.

there are really people who have the green thumb. me, nada, i am hopeless.

belated happy new year!

Nance, I'm so glad you were blog hopping and popped in.. things are abit aray right now..but hang loose it's coming together today..lol.. I love your blog. How rewarding to see those beautiful plants growing. My grandmother always had them in her kitchen window.. Thanks for bringing the memories back...hugs ~lynne~
I'll add you to my blog roll..

Hi Joy,
Yes, I'm into gardening, big time! :) I find it very therapeutic. For outdoor, I specially love dahlias and lilies. I have to be careful though, to get plants that deer and/or other animals tend to avoid. We have a lot of wild life in our yard, squirrels, woodchucks, possum, wild turkeys, etc. I love animals but boy, oh boy, when they go clean up my tulips in the spring, i feel like #@x* them...it's love-hate relationship! lol

2009-01-07T08:29:00.000-05:00

Hi Red,
You're welcome! I'm expecting to hear a show and tell when you find one. :) I'm not really sure if we cultivate them in Pinas...they probably have some or at least heard of in bigger garden stores in the cities.

2009-01-07T08:25:00.000-05:00

Hi Rhonda,
Pretty neat, huh?! :) I was so excited too. I can't wait to try it again in the summer.
The link "African Violets" on my post offers a wide varieties of AV's. I'm lucky enough to live just 5 minutes drive to their store. Anybody will enjoy just browsing what they offer...they even have miniatures. I bought a few from them.

2009-01-07T08:14:00.000-05:00

Hi Ev,
I am always told I have green thumb, not black thumb, maybe because in the winter, there are plants on every window of our house...a natural air freshner! :) I take them out to our porch and deck in the summer.
Oh, I love alugbati, delish in mungo, one of my favorite vege.

Try to go to a garden store, they might have AV's.

2009-01-07T08:05:00.000-05:00

Hi Mari,
I used to have an African violet that blooms continuously until I re-potted it in a bigger pot, then it died on me. :(
Give the other two some time, talk to them, lol, they will bloom someday.

Hello there Tracy - yes, I know a lot of people who collects them. That was my first propagation too, that was why I was so excited when the new plants started to show up. Ahh, spring, I can't wait to go get dirty! lol

2009-01-07T04:47:00.000-05:00

How wonderful you're into gardening. I used to be myself when I was a little girl, but now I enjoy visiting gardens more than maintaining one. Violets are beautiful.

Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comments. Have a great first week in 2009!

wow, thanks for sharing the tips in propagating african violets! It gives me an idea to have one grow and give it to one of my closest friends who is a violet color lover. I dunno if there's african violet na mabibili dito sa market. I'll try to ask when there's flower show on malls.

I'll be back on this post to read the instructions again when I have already african violet to propagate.

2009-01-06T21:44:00.000-05:00

How neat is that! I love African Violets and will have to try this! I had a great aunt who raised them, but I was too young to know what she did with them. Some of hers were huge and she had them everywhere. They have since been one of my favorite flowers! Thanks for sharing this! ~RHonda :)

2009-01-06T08:52:00.000-05:00

do you know about having "green thumb"?don't know if its the right term nance but this is what some call to those who get to grow flowers or any plants easily.

i remember only one instance when i planted "alugbati"(a vege) in our backyard when I was a child..i had always been excited then for them to grow..haha!but sad to say, i grew up unable to maintain the hobby. i can only wish i will have more time to venture into this ..my mother has flowers in our front yard..and i am only content to get pictures of them.hehe!

i wonder if there's african violets in my place..ang ganda kasi. that's a very good hobby to start the year nance.

thanks for the greetings!:)

2009-01-06T05:46:00.000-05:00

My grandmother loved African violet...every time I see one, I think of her. She had tons of them all over her house, and then later when she was in a care facility she still had some in her room. I've never done plant propagation before. I'm looking forward to spring and garden season already though--LOL! Happy Day, Nance ((HUGS))

2009-01-06T02:25:00.000-05:00

Thanks for the tip. I will try it come spring. I have 3 African violets and they are all healthy, but only one is blooming. I wonder why? I have them in my kitchen in my green house window.
