Sent to me by Cinderella, a baby, see how its growing.
I am so pleased as I am not usually very good with these plants.

Still not sure I have got it right Cinders, they have to beg for water before I give them any.

Well done, Val, it's a beautiful colour ... I can't keep these alive ... or African Violets! :o(((

I know what you mean Shirley, they are not easy.
I managed to grow a few African Violets from a leaf off my friends plant BUT they do not appear to flourish.... they just sit there ! !

Exactly ... I used to move them from room to room ... just in case the right amount of light would help them thrive ... all to no avail ... my few houseplants now are just leafy ones ... apart from a Cyclamen that bothers to flower occasionally ... lol!

Funny thing tho' Shirley my friend hasn't a clue about plants and she has three super A V's, they appear to thrive on neglect! ! She never feeds them, waters them when she thinks on and there they are blooming their heads off ! Lol :0))
