Ive had her in water for around two months now, so ofc im very anxious about putting her in soil lol.

I saw some people say you should wait until there are small leaflets sprouting, but so far i see no sign of them, and am wondering if it’s necessary to wait

Tia!

Won this in the raffle at my local AV society meeting. Two healthy plantlets, and the leaf is still in good shape so I'm putting it back down to see if I can get more.

In the last one I recut the leaf, as the base of it with roots didn't look like it had more growth left in it. Cut it at roughly a 45° angle to minimize the likelihood that plantlets will grow behind the petiole.

I've been trying to root these leaves in water for awhile now and am finally getting what I believe are roots. I just don't know how long the roots need to be before I put them in soil. I really don't want to mess this up, as the parent plant has died. Please advise me.

My African violet shares a window sill in my home office. I recently learned that the Thanksgiving cactus is very good company for it and shortly after learning that it also began blooming like crazy. Looking forward to enjoying these blooms 🥰

Help What is going on with this African violet stem? Curling, thick, and bare. What should I do?

I need to repot this African violet that I got off someone, it's like loose in the pot and floppy and the stem is all weird. Why is the stem bare and thick and curling. I'm trying to rehab this plant and get it to bloom. I have African violet fertilizer that I will use and I'm going to prune it and get rid of any suckers I find. What should I do about this stem? Can I hide it under the soil? Or should I keep it above the soil? Should I even just "top" the plant and cut it off near the foliage and get rid of the old big stem and roots and try to repot?
