Hello! i just joined, but thought I'd share one of the more interesting propagating facts I learned from my grandpa. You can propagate an african violet just from a leaf. I have two right now, one is a propagation from my grandpa and the other is a propagation of a propagation. (Yes they need pruning🫣)

I’ve done this as well! My African Violet was looking pretty poorly, so I just propped it 2 ish months ago and it sprouted about a week ago! They’re momma’s healthy now too 🥰

Grandads are the best. Thanks for sharing! 🥰 also how cute you’ll have a piece of him forever! Mine gave me a bulb of one of his flowers I still have (:
