I love African violets! Maybe I’m looking in the wrong place but I’m looking for an African violet community here on Planta.

They're so beautiful! I recently got into them and I'm propagating one currently!

It is fun to propagate from leaves.

#### Adrian replied on 2025-03-03

Got any tips on how to propagate the leaves? 😊

I recently switched from rooting water to rooting in soil. I think that is a better way to. Less adjustment for the plant. I root in 50/50 peat and perlite. Don’t let the soil dry out. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much! 😊

You are very welcome 😁

There must be a way to start a violet feed, but not sure how to navigate this app very easily.

I’ve just asked the question about a group for us about African Violet’s in a Planta question group. Hopefully we can get one.

Same here. I’m all thumbs when it comes to gadgets.😁
