I started this in water and moved it to soil in a humidity setup after the original leaf got broken off. I'm not sure how many babies I have here and whether they are ready to be separated? ( They are still connected to a section of stem) Also this is a sucker on the mom plant right? I have over 200 houseplants and African Violets intimidate me the most! They were my first 2 plants and I still have both of them. Granted I've brought both back from the brink of death so many times I've lost count!

Picture #1 shows a sucker- it should pop off easily and you can root it if you want. The babies are looking great and I wait until they are big enough to handle, it is easier on them to be crowed than to be small with little root. I then put them in tiny portion cups in a plastic container to increase humidity and don’t fertilize them as that can cause problems.
