# I got this African violet for $2 at the grocery store and I’ve been…

_Publié par Abigail🪴 le 2023-09-21_

I got this African violet for $2 at the grocery store and I’ve been trying to nurse it back. I got it last week and repotted it when I got it home. Any suggestions on how I can give her a full comeback?

This would be a little bit risky because sometimes plants that aren’t in great health don’t propagate well, but you could try propagating a leaf! I’ve heard of you just set it on some moist soil, it propagates very easily

Use the healthiest leaf for this :)

Lots of light and African violet fertilizer. Trim off all the bad leaves eventually, just not all at once so you don’t shock it.

PS I’ve rescued ones with that many leaves and they turned into full size healthy plants.
