This NebGuide covers various aspects of caring for them. Donald H. Steinegger, Extension Horticulturist John Watkins, Extension Plant Pathologist Anne Vidaver, Head, Department of Plant Pathology Frederick P. Baxendale, Extension Entomologist Previous Category Catalog Order Info Potting and Propagation ... Disease and Pest Problems The African violet ( Saintpaulia ionantha ) is one of the most satisfactory flowering houseplants. It is a low, compact plant with attractive dark green, thick, hairy leaves. The violet-like flowers are borne in small panicles just above the foliage. Besides various shades of blue-violet, there are also pink, fuschia, and white cultivars (varieties). Newer violets include not only cultivars with single flowers, but also those with semi-double or double rows of petals. Bi-colored flowers and those with a contrasting border are popular. Trailing cultivars and miniatures are also available. Plants kept in good condition flower almost continuously. Potting and Propagation A soil mixture composed of about 2 parts fertile loam, 1 part leaf mold or peat, and 1 part sand or perlite is recommended for growing African violets. The soil must be porous to allow surplus water to pass through readily. Most violets are now grown in a pasteurized soilless mix. A good soilless mix is made up of 3 parts sphagnum peat moss, 2 parts vermiculite, and 1 part perlite, with some lime added to balance the acidity of the peat moss. Compost, good garden soil, or loam can be used for up to half of the total mix, with the other half being vermiculite and/or perlite. Such a soil mix is very porous. A good growing medium should contain 50 percent matter, 25 percent air, and 25 percent water.

Use this page to view the latest African violet varieties available in our 2003 catalog. We're famous for our miniature and trailing hybrids. All 'Rob's' varieties are proven, show-quality plants that grow and bloom readily, even under less than ideal conditions. They are bred to shape nicely, bloom continually, and typically will have unusually colored and larger than average-size blooms. All do well under either artificial or natural light. We also grow many standard-size varieties (as many as we do minis). We grow only superior varieties that grow and bloom easily. We have no interest in growing "problem plants". Most will also make excellent show plants for those interested in exhibition. Our own 'Ma's' series of standard hybrids exhibit the best of these qualities.

11. Cloning African Violets Consists of a classroom propagation article written by a teacher that emphasizes sterile techniques by tissue culture to generate an unlimited number of identical plants possessing a desired trait. http://academy.d20.co.edu/kadets/lundberg/violets.html

This article was published in The Science Teacher April, 1987. Doug Lundberg More information on Plant Tissue Culture Mention cloning and many people think of a movie about 12 identical humans born as adults with telepathic abilities or The Boys from Brazil. But for plant scientists and horticulturists, cloning is hardly so sinister. The everyday practice of propagating plants with leaf cuttings is technically cloning, as are the venerable nursery techniques of grafting and taking stem cuttings. Relatively new is the idea that single plant cells can, given the proper conditions, grow into stems, roots, and leaves – into whole new plants. Such tissue culture is commonly used to commercially propagate plants such as ferns, orchids, lilies, strawberries, and raspberries. This clonal propagation produces many genetically identical offspring in a short time. With tissue culture, scientists can start with a plant that possesses the trait desired (whether that trait is disease resistance, high yield, or hardiness) and can generate quickly an unlimited number of identical plants possessing that trait. This is a crucial advantage in a world waiting for more nutritious, hardier, and more productive crops. Classroom propagation In my activity, my students clone the African violet (Saintpaulia ionantha), a member of the Germinancae family. Tissue taken from a leaf is coaxed with hormones into forming buds, which eventually develop into plantlets complete with petioles and leaves. The African violet is our plant of choice because the number of plantlets formed during the cloning process is higher than most other plants [8]. Under ideal conditions, one leaf could be cultured and divided and cultured again into 5,000 to 8,000 small plantlets in only 8 to 14 weeks. To successfully clone African violets, you will need a laminar flow hood, biological containment hood, or aquarium, an autoclave or pressure cooker, long tweezers, cellophane wrap, bleach and liquid detergent, sterile petri dishes, and 70 percent ethanol. For each student, supply about four test tubes (25 x 150 mm), plastic caps or cotton, and some test tube racks.

16. African Violet Growing Tips african violets are the favorite blooming houseplant and the easiest to grow. Just follow these easy tips and tricks to properly care for your african violets. http://www.african-violets.com/tips.htm

African Violets are the favorite blooming houseplant and the easiest to grow. With good bright light and regular feedings, they will be blooming joyfully all year long. Just follow these easy tips and tricks to properly care for your African Violets. LIGHT Insufficient light is one of the major reasons Violets do not bloom well. Violets must have 10 to 14 (16 is max) hours of bright light per day (no direct sun). Variegated varieties usually need more light than the plants with solid green leaves because there is less chlorophyll which is used to turn light into food for the plant. The special yellow blooming violet varieties need less light than all the other violets require. You can enhance the light for certain violets by sitting them on mirror tiles as large or larger than the violet. This reflects the available light back to the violet. If adequate natural light is not available or desired, twin tube fluorescent lights are ideal. Place the tubes eight to ten inches above the foliage for mature standard plants, and six to eight inches for miniatures, leaves, and seedlings. Because violets process nutrients during the "resting phase" (i.e. darkness) they should also have 8 hours of darkness per day. TEMPERATURE HUMIDITY 40% - 50% relative humidity is usually ideal. The humidity near your plants can be raised by supporting the plants over water. Wick watering is ideal for this because the plant sits on top of a reservoir of water.
