Hi Ethan,
Oh yes, I'm familar with Robs Violets. He has some amazing varities. After I get the leaves that I have now going I'll have to shop around Rob's site. Could be dangerous:-)
Hi Ethan, I'm trying my first AV leaves. All but one are doing good. I cut the top part of the leaves off as the technique I read said to do so. One of the leaves slowly started to die or shrival up at the top corner of the cut. This has spread down the leaf but stopped at the main vein and hasn't traveled to the other side. Not sure if this one will make it. Keeping my fingers crossed. Beautiful plants African Violets are. I can understand you wanting to make more room for them:-)
I got an email notice that you added me as a friend. I don't see anything on my page that says you sent the request. I'm stumped-) Anyway, I sure would hate to ignore a friend request.
I'm just getting into African Violets. There are so many kinds and I have a lot to learn. So, if you would, except my request to be a friend.
