Extractions: The African violet is a member of the family Gesneriaceae It was discovered by Baron Walter Von Saint-Paul in 1892 and, upon its introduction in Europe, was baptized Saintpaulia ionantha . The genus Saintpaulia was named after its discoverer and the species name, ionantha , is Greek, meaning "having flowers like the violet's". From that point on, the common name of "African violet" became popular, giving the impression that the genus is related to the true violet, Viola . In fact, the two genera are very different, botanically speaking. There are numerous species of Saintpaulia , although few of them are actually cultivated. Most plants sold on the market are hybrids derived from Saintpaulia ionantha Because of its small size, the ease with which it blooms in the home and the wide variety of cultivars and hybrids available, the African violet has long been one of the most popular flowering house plants. African violets come in shades of white, blue, purple, coral, pink and even yellow. The petals may be bicoloured, ruffled or even double. The various shades of green foliage may also be variegated. The leaf margins are sometimes finely serrated, ruffled or lobed. Finally, there are a number of miniature and hanging cultivars available. A common complaint among amateur growers is the difficulty of maintaining beautiful flowers. However, provided that an African violet is given the proper growing conditions, it is relatively easy to obtain good results.

False African Violet

http://www.ext.colostate.edu/ptlk/1341.html

Extractions: False African violet The false African violet is a member of the true African violet family and is native to east Africa. They grow into cascading vines in their native habitat and are known for their soft fuzzy foliage. They produce delicate blue-violet and white flowers under optimal conditions. In Colorado false African violets can be used as a potted plant or in a hanging basket. False African violets need medium to high light to grow well and produce flowers. Keep the potting mix evenly moist. This plant will tend to get lanky if not pinched. False African violets like temperatures around 70 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 55 to 60 degrees at night. If you keep your plant on a window sill, protect it from cold and drafts because they are very prone to cold. False violets thrive in 20 to 40 percent humidity and should be fertilized every month with a half-strength solution of an all-purpose soluble fertilizer. When planting a false African violet, use a potting mix that drains well. False African violets are commonly propagated by stem cuttings. Stem cuttings should be four inches long with the bottom leaves removed. Stick the cutting directly into potting mix, or place it in a glass of water until roots begin to form, then plant the cutting.

Extractions: African Violet Habitat in Kenya Gerard "big bug" Hertel (West Chester University, Pennslyvania, USA) and Kamau Wakanene Mbuthia of the National Museums of Kenya (working on his PhD at the University of Miami-Ohio, USA) have just completed an African violet habitat project in Kenya that was funded by the African Violet Society of America, Inc. They worked in the Mbololo forest located in southeastern Kenya. Mbololo is the largest indigenous forest block left in the Taita Hills, the most northern part of the Eastern Arc Mountains. Looking east from Mbololo you can see Tsavo National Park and look out over the area where the famous Man-Eaters (lions) of Tsavo did their damage during the building of the Kenyan-Ugandan Railway. On a clear day looking northwest you can see Mount Kilimanjaro. Mbololo is 162 hectares in size. This mountain cloud forest is the only mountain forest in Kenya that contains the African violet. One (Saintpaulia teitensis) of the 22 species of violet occurs here and nowhere else in the world. The terrain is very steep (often + 60 degrees). The ridge of Mbololo runs north and south with the forests on east (wet) and west (drier) facing slopes. Moist clouds hit this ridge as they move inland from the Indian Ocean. The violets grow on cliffs and large rocks free from any plant competition. The violets love the dense shade of the forests and the moisture that the forests capture from the clouds on their behalf. The results of Mbuthia's and Hertel's work seems to speak well for the violets. Prior surveys indicated only one population of violets in the forests. Eight have now been located and we think more could be found with more intensive surveys. The forests growing around the violets are healthy and in tact with little sign of natural (blow down by wind) or man caused (selective felling of preferred species) disturbances.

Extractions: November 7, 2003 Back to Archives A - D African Violets are the most popular blooming houseplant in the world. How this small, tropical wildflower found its way to most windowsills in America makes an interesting tale. Though, not at all related to violets and pansies, the African violet does share the flat, five-petaled face of true violets. There the resemblance ends. The African violet ( Saintpaulia ionantha ) is a member of the tropical Gesneriad family and is related to such plants as gloxinia and streptocarpus. Although the most common color is blue, selections are available in shades of pink, rose, red, purple, violet, white and even yellow. Plants grow in a rosette while young but eventually the stem may elongate to 6 inches or more in length. The fleshy, hairy leaves are to 6 inches long and have the ability to produce plantlets from the leaves, the most common means of propagation. The commercialization of this new crop began almost immediately. The rights to distribute the plant were sold to the German seed company, Ernst Benary, in 1893. This company provided seeds to W.K. Harris, of the Harris Seed Company in Philadelphia, in 1894.

A sea of soft colors, deep purples and ruby reds, stretches across a greenhouse the size of a football field. "Will I ever get tired of growing African violets?" Reinhold Holtkamp, Sr., asks in reply to a visitor's question. "Not until our customers get tired of them too." As long as Americans have been tending these tiny beauties, the Holtkamp family has been tinkering with them. In fact, if your grandmother's living room was filled with bright bunches of blooming violets, you can thank Reinhold's father, Hermann Holtkamp.

Container Gardens Propagation Looking After African Violets Propagating african violets by leaf stem cuttings. African violets are one of the easiest house plants to propogate. They are best propagated by removing mature leaves from the mother plant in the form of leaf stem cuttings. (see photo left ) To take the cuttings follow the following stages- Water the mother plant and leave for 30 mins to make sure the plant is not water stressed when the cutings are taken. Remove the leaves to form the basic cutting as shown in the photo. select mature leaves which tend to be on the outer edge of the mother plant. Try to take the cutting so it has the maximium stem lengh.
