# So my African violet the mama, is dying after 2yrs of having her. But…

_Posted by Hery on 2026-06-17_

So my African violet the mama, is dying after 2yrs of having her. But I manage to make more baby out of leave propagacion. It's been a long process let's see if they mature. I just don't know when to remove the big leave.  
Any ideas.

Wow cool! I have no idea as that big leaf is probably still providing a lot of energy. That said it has multiple leaves it could certainly survive without it? You might slow it down though if it is in active growth at this moment I would think

You can remove the big leaves now; the propagations have enough to support themselves. Or you can leave them on; they'll even out as they grow
