Starting A Broken African Violet Leaf

http://www.fuzzyfoliage.com Oops! You accidentally broke a leaf off your plant, and the stem isn't long enough to plant it? No problem! I'll show you how to save it! We just cut it in a way to make a longer stem and then you can propagate with it just like any other leaf.

Things you'll need:
-An African violet leaf with a short stem
-X-ACTO knife or razor blade
-Small pot or cup
-Potting mix (I combine 1/2 commercial African violet mix and 1/2 perlite)
-Small amount of water

You may also wanna watch my other video about starting leaves because after cutting this leaf you're gonna treat it the same way I show here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQQB_MCmlBM
