African Violets are what first got me into houseplants! My favorite variegated one is Fishermans Paradise, it's absolutely beautiful. To anyone looking to collect named Violets, be sure to check for an African Violet club in your area. Mine is wonderful and people bring leaves and propogations to share. Such a lovely community.

Thank you for the video! I hope more people give African Violets a chance after watching. It makes me sad when people call them "old lady plants" 😂

This video just came in time. Someone was giving away some cutting of the leaves and I got around 8 leaves. I am going to propagate.

I love African violets! I work at a grocery store and I have gotten many violets in our employee free bin! I have found a lot of cute self watering African violet pots at thrift stores. I’ve even successfully propagated them! I am always on the hunt for variegated ones! So far never seen them in my area, I’ll probably just buy some online though. 😊 thanks for the video!

Highly recommend buying a potting mix for African violets. Getting the soil composition right for these guys can be complex. I regularly make my own soil mixes, but for these guys I don't do it. Espoma also makes a Nice soil mix that may be more accessible for some. Enjoy these under appreciated beauties!

I’m so happy your loving violets! I have always kept them & during the rona I went wild with them but lost a bunch after going back to work.
I know you love the variegated leaves! Look up watermelon snow! Tell me if you like it & I can send you leaves if you want

[Sbannmarie]

Wow! How do you take care of all these plants? Would love to see a video on the overall care of those plants. Thanks!

Love African violets! Currently mine blooming for me.

A fluffy blush brush like we use for makeup is great for brushing dirt off the leaves. I use one from dollar tree. Just tilt and gently swipe the leaves.

Hi Ashley, thank you for this video and for all the tips and information. Very enjoyable to watch! African Violets are classic plants for good reason. They are beautiful and they can be grown successfully. 🥰. For me, the watering was the hardest part of keeping them happy. Also, I may have fussed over them a little too much in the beginning!😵‍💫 Many thanks for encouraging the plant community to try this rewarding plant! 👌🪴🥰

I love African violets!!! There are so many fun varieties and the flowers make me happy! They are the first plants I really started collecting.

I love African violets! I have a variegated plant that has variegated light blue frilly flowers that have more white appear as the flowers age. I propagated a bunch of leaves and am waiting for them to grow clones. The African violet pots make my life a lot easier. I live in Arizona and small pots dry out so quickly. My violets are always either in bloom or are growing buds. I love the Espoma Violets African violet food. I add it to the water in the reservoir biweekly so the plants soak up the food as needed then I switch the water out to tap water the following week.

I love African Violets. They are so easy care and they bloom at leats 6 months in an year. I had a violet that had more than 10 years. I lost it because a bad mix of soil but I managed to save 3 leaves and now I have lots of baby plants. Can't wait to see them blooming again.❤❤
