  Dear Gray Turtle, I have watched many of your videos on your collection of violets. What an amazing collection you have, and, what is equally amazing is how beautiful and healthy your violets are. I am elderly and have only a few violets which I have purchased at the grocery store. They have done well and reward me with an abundance of blooms. I don’t expect you answer this type of question, but, if you would, I would be very grateful. I would like to obtain a single-flowering violet which is a dark blue with a white edge, and I would also like to obtain a single-flowering violet which is deep purple with a white edge. The white edge should be smooth, but a slight ruffle is also fine. If you could tell me the names of such varieties, or, where I could search for them, I would be very appreciative. Once I pin down the names, I might have to ask you for sources, since I am in Canada. In advance, thank you for your assistance if you are able to provide it. Sincerely, Larry Clarence Lewis London, Ontario, Canada.

  Because of your terrific reviews I have added new African violets to my collection. I’ve always had African violets my entire married life, but only a few at a time. Now at 80 yrs young I am up to 9 but still adding. Ness crinkle blue is always “out of stock” but it’s a must for me to have so I will keep trying. African violets ask very little of me but bring me such joy. Thank you for all your reviews

  Thank you for your very educational videos. I learn so much and your videos are so nicely made. I do have a question. With the mother leaf, I waited until one of the baby leaves is the size of a quarter and I decided to separate it from the mother leaf and plant it in its own cup following your instructions. But in doing that, I found 5 baby plants! I put each in their own new cup, but of course only one of those babies had a leaf the size of a quarter, the other 4 just had tiny leaves. I put all 5 in separate pots and I wonder, can I expect even the babies to thrive? I just don't know if they are big enough or have enough roots to survive and I am curious about your experience with the success of planting even these small babies. Thank you!

• 
  @grayturtlevioletsАй бұрын

  Appreciate your feedback! I found that often one leaf can produce several baby plants, so if I see only one baby plant, I wait a bit longer for the other ones to emerge. If the oldest baby is strong enough, usually with 2-3 rows of leaves, I separate it and keep the smaller ones with mother leaf until they grow stronger. I did try planting them when they had only one row of leaves, some survived, and others didn’t, so only time will tell. Happy growing!

  If you get a light that is defective and will not assemble correctly just open the paperwork inside the box or contact Barrina directly via phone with your purchase order date or invoice number and they will simply replace the defective item in your set for anyone else who has a issue so then your new set will be exactly what you purchased.

  I thought African Violets don't like to stay wet? My question is ... how do they get a chance to dry out with wick watering?

• 
  @grayturtlevioletsАй бұрын

  They don’t dry out with wick-watering. Some growers do let them dry out a bit before refills. I tried it, and in my conditions, it caused the capillary action failure, and the need to repot the failed plant with the new wick. Check out my Top Watering vs. Wick Watering video for more info: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i6auo6yont2_dZs.htmlsi=rEAIbWtdOppHCEWS

• 
  @grayturtlevioletsАй бұрын

  It depends on the watering method. I use smaller pots with my wick-watered plants because the potting mix in them remains constantly moist and the plant needs to be have well developed root system to be able to process all the moisture. With my top-watered plants, I can use larger pots. You can see the latter in my channel’s Shorts features. Happy growing!
