MICROPROPAGATION OF CHIMERAL AFRICAN VIOLETS R. Daniel Lineberger* and Mark Druckenbrod Department of Horticulture, Ohio State University http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/tisscult/chimeras/valprop/val.html ABSTRACT The pinwheel flowering African violets are periclinal chimeras. Plantlets produced from tissue cultured leaf explants do not flower true-to-type. When intact inflorescences were cultured in vitro, plantlets arose in the axils of small bracts on the peduncles. These plantlets flowered between 80% and 95% true-to-type depending on the cultivar under consideration. It is hypothesized that these plantlets result from the growth of dormant axillary buds in the inflorescence. This hypothesis would account for the ability to propagate the periclinal chimeras in a true-to-type fashion since the apical organization of axillary buds is identical to that of the apical meristem. INTRODUCTION African violets which have bicolor flowers with a banded arrangement of the colors are termed "pinwheel flowering". The lateral edge of each corolla segment is a different color than the central portion, giving the whole flower a "spoked" appearance, with the "spokes" being one color and the "spaces between the spokes" a different color. Figure 1. The pinwheel-flowering African violet cultivar 'Valencia' is characterized by corolla segments with methyl violet margins and a white center stripe.

23. Optimara: Caring For African Violets Water. In general, african violets need just enough water to keep the soil moist, but never soggy. Too much water will leave your http://www.optimara.com/africanvioletcare1.html

Plant Care Instructions Summary Light: Moderate to bright, indirect, indoor light. Watering: Keep soil moist to dry, and allow soil around roots to dry out before watering to encourage blooming. Water from the bottom with room temperature water by placing the plastic grower's pot in water, and allowing the plant to absorb the water ( not more than 30 minutes ). Avoid getting water on the leaves as this can cause spotting damage. For best results, use violet plant food as directed. Tips: Pinch off spent blossoms and blossom stems to encourage develpment of new blooms. Place plants away from floor vents, fans, or entrance doors to avoid air drafts and bursts of cold air. Contents Water Light Requirements Temperature and Air Quality Fertilizer and Plant Nutrition ... Index Water In general, African Violets need just enough water to keep the soil moist, but never soggy. Too much water will leave your African Violets susceptible to such deadly pathogens as Pythium, Root Rot and Crown Rot. Overwatering can also cause denitrification, a condition which prevents plants from getting the nitrogen they need.

30. African Violets african violets 1. Jones, HC african violets require about 1000 footcandles of light for 8 to 12 hours per day for best growth and flowering. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/BODY_MG028

African Violets Jones, H. C. The African violet ( Saintpaulia ) is an excellent flowering house plant which will grow and flower under low light intensities found in the average home. Where there is insufficient natural light, they can be grown and flowered successfully entirely under artificial light. Large numbers of different varieties, types and colors available, and the ease with which they can be propagated make this an excellent plant for interior decoration of the home. African violets require about 1000 foot-candles of light for 8 to 12 hours per day for best growth and flowering. However, lower light levels for longer periods of time are also satisfactory. Often, it is possible to tell from their appearance whether light levels are satisfactory. If light is too low, leaves are usually deeper in color and thinner than leaves on plants receiving higher levels of diffused light. Unless light is extremely low, plants may grow well but will flower poorly or not at all. In such instances, supplemental artificial light is helpful in promoting flowering. Excessive light levels cause leaves to be pale or yellowish green, much lighter than normal and some leaves may show dark areas where they have been shaded by other leaves. Growth at high light levels is slowed and plants become more compact, however, although flowering may continue freely for a while it will eventually decrease due to chlorophyll destruction.
