African Violets

My African Violets look absolutely amazing, they love the dappled light sitting near the window looking outside trying to obtain some sunlight, but not too much just in case its too much.

Here they are all together and when they were much younger plants. The two variegated leave varieties have been grown from leave cuttings which I bought from an African Violet show at Mt Waverley about two years ago.

The other african violet has miniature flowers and leaves and is very cute.

The plant with the long leaves I think is a Gesneriaceae. Will need to confirm and repost later what its really called.

I water and feed my African Violets once a week with a weak African violet specific nutrient food mix. All of my African Violets are fed via a wick that sits in the small container of nutrient weak water, I don't actually water the soil that they sit in, rather I place the water in the container that they sit on. I will post how I assemble these next time, but firstly I need to take some photos of these.

Hope you enjoy the photos.
