A: (from Jessie Mack Burns, Ask DIY Gardening expert) Well, taking care of an African violet isn't difficult, although many people seem to think it is! Just follow these simple guidelines to keep your African violet healthy and beautiful! African violets are actually different from the wild violets (also known as Johnny jump-ups) often found growing randomly in yards and gardens. The nursery-grown varieties have large, well-defined leaves and aren't always "violet" these beauties come in a variety of vibrant colors, from pure white and pale shades of lavender to bright fuschia and royal purple ( figure A Once you've purchased your plant, you'll want to find a two-part container whose inner pot has an unglazed bottom ( figure B ). By filling the outer pot with water and replacing the inner container, you allow moisture to be absorbed through the porous areas as the violet needs it.

Home Categories Automotive Home Improvement Project Index Newsletter ... Episode DIG-118 Caring for African Violets From " After They Bloom " Episode DIG-118 African violets come in a wide range of colors and shapes Figure A African violets (Saintpaulia) are probably the most popular indoor houseplants in the world. You can create beautiful arrangements with their blooms, and they're not as fussy as you may have believed, says Charlie Nardozzi of the National Gardening Association. Members of the gesneriad family, African violets require bright light but no direct sun. They should be fertilized with a product designed for African violets (follow package directions for frequency), and they need annual repotting with an African violet potting mix. Because these plants don't like cold water on their leaves, bottom watering is advised. Pour lukewarm water into the saucer, and replace the pot. The water will be wicked into the soil in 20 to 30 minutes. Never allow African violets to sit in water longer than 1 hour. You can place several plants in a water-filled tray at one time. Provide humidity by placing the pots on a shallow tray filled with gravel ( figure A ) and adding water to the gravel.

28. Cloning African Violets Consists of a classroom propagation article written by a teacher that emphasizes sterile techniques Category Home Gardens Plants Propagation...... I have my students propagate african violets by tissue culture, andthey are usually amazed at how quickly one plant becomes many. http://academy.d20.co.edu/kadets/lundberg/violets.html

This article was published in The Science Teacher April, 1987. Doug Lundberg More information on Plant Tissue Culture Mention cloning and many people think of a movie about 12 identical humans born as adults with telepathic abilities or The Boys from Brazil. But for plant scientists and horticulturists, cloning is hardly so sinister. The everyday practice of propagating plants with leaf cuttings is technically cloning, as are the venerable nursery techniques of grafting and taking stem cuttings. Relatively new is the idea that single plant cells can, given the proper conditions, grow into stems, roots, and leaves – into whole new plants. Such tissue culture is commonly used to commercially propagate plants such as ferns, orchids, lilies, strawberries, and raspberries. This clonal propagation produces many genetically identical offspring in a short time. With tissue culture, scientists can start with a plant that possesses the trait desired (whether that trait is disease resistance, high yield, or hardiness) and can generate quickly an unlimited number of identical plants possessing that trait. This is a crucial advantage in a world waiting for more nutritious, hardier, and more productive crops. Classroom propagation In my activity, my students clone the African violet (Saintpaulia ionantha), a member of the Germinancae family. Tissue taken from a leaf is coaxed with hormones into forming buds, which eventually develop into plantlets complete with petioles and leaves. The African violet is our plant of choice because the number of plantlets formed during the cloning process is higher than most other plants [8]. Under ideal conditions, one leaf could be cultured and divided and cultured again into 5,000 to 8,000 small plantlets in only 8 to 14 weeks. To successfully clone African violets, you will need a laminar flow hood, biological containment hood, or aquarium, an autoclave or pressure cooker, long tweezers, cellophane wrap, bleach and liquid detergent, sterile petri dishes, and 70 percent ethanol. For each student, supply about four test tubes (25 x 150 mm), plastic caps or cotton, and some test tube racks.

40. African Violets african violets. african violets are among the easiest to grow and most rewardingof all indoor plants. Choose a bright location for your african violets. http://www.extension.umn.edu/info-u/plants/BG414.html

African Violets African violets are among the easiest to grow and most rewarding of all indoor plants. Most houseplants with showy blossoms have very high light requirements; others will bloom only after you cover them every night for many weeks. African violets bloom off and on year round...particularly the newer varieties...with very little effort on your part. Choose a bright location for your African violets. An east, west, or even south-facing window is fine during the shorter days of fall and winter. In summer, the light from a west or south-facing window will probably be too intense, and it will be too hot, as well. During those longer days of spring and summer, keep your African violets in a north or east window. You could also reduce the light and heat in brighter windows with the use of sheer curtains. If you don't have enough space by your windows, African violets can perform equally well under fluorescent lights. Regardless of their location, keep your African violets' soil slightly moist at all times. Water thoroughly whenever the soil surface feels dry to the touch. Then discard whatever excess water collects in the saucer or tray beneath the plants. Otherwise the water wicks back into the soil, keeping it soggy and setting the stage for root rot. Fertilize your African violets regularly, using an extremely dilute houseplant fertilizer with each watering. Or you may apply one that's mixed half-strength, once a month.
