  • thanks for posting, been growing ever since I was a boy (my Grandmom taught me how), but I can always learn more

  • Great idea, the 1/4 turn each watering. I think I've also been over watering or keeping from drying out. I live in the central valley of California and we lack humidity so I'm always cautious. So far I've been lucky I guess

  • @RachelEMacD --The yellow leaves will never turn green again, go ahead and take them off.

  • You should NOT use clay pots for African violets--You shouldn't even have them sitting there.

  • What part of the US are you from?

  • oh, I like it! Thank you for that video :)

    How do you know if you need to repot it?

    The leaves on mine are getting yellowy at the bottom of the plant, but still strong. So I don't know if I should take them off or not. It looked a bit crowded, so I took some off. I let it sit in a 1/4 inch water, once a week. Is that ok? Peace, thanks. Rachel
