82. African Violet Trading Etiquette Hints and tips for trading african violets and suggestions for packing plants and leaves for shipping. http://www.rosebudm.com/av/trading_etiquette.htm

African Violets African Violet Trading Etiquette The best way to get into trading African violets is by joining a local club. Clubs offer you the opportunity to participate in shows, attend social meetings and get-togethers and meet great people. However, joining a club is not always an option for everyone so the practice of trading African violets by mail has developed. What you will find here is a collection of suggestions (not rules), as to what is considered common trading etiquette, handed down from the experienced trader to the newbie. Following the forums, I found myself and many others wondering, "What's the procedure for making trades?". Hopefully African violet enthusiasts will find these hints and tips useful in guiding their trades and getting packages ready for shipping. Communication: The most important part of a trade is good communication between trade partners. Be totally upfront when planning your trade. Be specific about your varieties and whether you are sending leaves or plants. Details, details, details. If you have all the details, there should never be a bad trade. Trades are not always plant for plant, leaf for leaf, they can be completed in a number of ways. An African violet for a strep or other type of plant or the exchange may simply be repaying the person for their postage if you have nothing to trade. Perhaps you're in an area where you can purchase an item that someone else can't get and exchange it with them for plants. For example, I hear AVers talking about getting AV pots or plants at Lowes all the time. This is something I can't do since Minnesota has no Lowes stores.

Wildlife African Violets Rebecca's Garden : Episode REB-613 African violets grow best in bright, indirect light in a north- or east-facing window. It's a good idea to turn the plant every few weeks. African violets are one of the most popular houseplants. They come in many colors and provide year-round beauty. The key to caring for them is easy: neglect with respect. Here are some pointers that will give you healthy plants that bloom all year. Water your plants when they're dry to the touch. Never let them sit in water. You'll want to feed them every time you water with a high phosphorous fertilizer. Be sure to dilute the fertilizer about one-quarter strength every time. And pinch off the blooms so they will produce more flowers. African violets need to be repotted once a year. The soil recipe is very important. You can buy soil that's already mixed or here's a simple recipe: 1 part potting soil 1 part vermiculite 2 parts milled sphagnum moss To repot an African violet, flip the plant over and remove it from the container. Cut off about one inch from the bottom of the rootball.

88. How To Care For African Violets Simple care for keeping the blooms growing and fresh on your African Violet. http://or.essortment.com/africanvioletc_rtxx.htm

How to care for African violets Simple care for keeping the blooms growing and fresh on your African Violet. African Violets are plants with heart shaped leaves and delicate blossoms. True to their cousin, the wild violet, a lot of the blooms are purple in color. However, African Violets do come in blooms of yellow, red, fuchsia, white and multi-colored. Their leaves can be dark green to multi-green. Most of the time these plants are kept inside as houseplants. They can be very stingy with their blooms if they are not taken care of properly. But, when they get the sunlight and nutrition they need they can produce a multitude of healthy blooms year round. The first consideration when taking care of your African Violet is light. African Violets need at least twelve hours of light a day. They thrive best with natural sunlight, so if there is a window they can sit in where sun shines through for most of the day, they will be happiest there. However, this is a difficult thing to achieve so many people resort to artificial light. Your local nursery will have plant lights of all shapes and sizes and designs. Bring a picture or your plant and the area you wish to keep it with you and the workers at the nursery can help you decide on the plant light that best suits your needs. While you are there, you might as well discuss the proper plant food with the nursery worker.

89. AFRICAN VIOLETS Commercial Greenhouse Production Scientific Name The African Violet, Saintpaulia ionantha, is among the most popular of house plants african violets are usually incompatible with other greenhouse crops http://www.ag.auburn.edu/landscape/Aviolet.htm

AFRICAN VIOLETS Commercial Greenhouse Production Scientific Name: Saintpaulia ionantha Common Name: African Violet Family: Gesneriaceae Dr. J. Raymond Kessler, Jr. Auburn University History and Use The African Violet, Saintpaulia ionantha , is among the most popular of house plants with wholesale sales in 1995 exceeding 25 million dollars. This popularity is due to its ability to thrive under conditions commonly found in most homes, and its usefulness as a specimen plant, center piece, or feature in dish gardens. Since its introduction into the United States in 1894, hundreds of African Violet cultivars have been developed that provide a wide range of flower colors, foliage types, and plant sizes. Though many Americans purchase African Violets as an impulse item, there are dedicated enthusiasts who grow, breed, and show them. African Violets were originally discovered in 1892 in two separate locations of northeast Tanga in Eastern Africa by Baron Walter von Saint Paul, then governor of German East Africa. Saint Paul sent either plants or seed to his father in Germany where they quickly became popular in European Horticultural circles. Herman Wendlan, a prominent botanist at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Herrenhausen Germany, gave the genus name Saintpaulia in honor of its discoverer, and the two species

The Garden Helper Gardening Basics "How to" Guides House plants ... The Gardener's Forum Fertilizing Grapes, Caring for Prickly Pear Cactus, and Feeding African Violets May 9,1998 Mike wrote: Wine grapes....What is the best fertilizer for them in the spring? Beginning with the second year of growth, you should scatter 4 to 6 ounces of 5-5-10 or 5-10-10 fertilizer around the base of each plant, but be certain to keep the fertilizer about a foot from the trunk. Each year after that, double the rate of application until you have reached a maximum of 3 pounds of food per plant. If soil is naturally rich, less fertilizing is needed. Many times, grapes can be grown successfully by fertilizing only every two to three years. The soil pH is also important, so add enough lime to bring the pH up to 6.0 to 6.5. April wrote: Give your plants a chance to dry out slightly before you water them. Over watering can be more hazardous to your plants health than making them go without water, especially when they are only seedlings. If you are receiving rain on a regular basis, you probably don't need to be concerned with watering at all! Kristen wrote: I purchased a cactus about a year ago. I've noticed recently that it looks shriveled in some areas - not terribly, but a little. I believe it a prickly pear cactus (or at least it looks like one). I keep it in a window that has a northern exposure (the only window I have in my office) but there is large overhang right above my window. I water about every two weeks and only about 1/8 to 1/4 cup each time. What am I doing wrong?

The Gardener's Forum Repotting Calla Lilies, African Violets, and other House Plants March 8, 1998 Vallery Dietrich wrote: I received a beautiful Cala Lily from a friend. Yellow blooms. I have only had it for about two weeks. It is still thriving with new leaves forming. However, it is twice as tall as the container and the stems near the soil are turning yellow. Do I repot and how? Do I cut the blooms back at any time? I have an African Violet that I am sure needs repotting. The roots are coming above the soil. I am reluctant to repot/divide because I have killed plants before. Help! Thanks Vallery Dietrich, Outer Banks, NC If your lily has become root bound, it is easy enough to move it to the next larger size pot by simply removing it from its pot and potting it up. Unlike many plants it is not necessary to loosen or disturb the roots, just place it in the pot and add sufficient soil to fill it to within 3/4 of an inch from the rim. When they are grown in pots Calla lilies (Zantedeschia species) should be kept constantly wet and should be given a weak solution of liquid plant food every 3 weeks while they are showing signs of new growth. Grow them in a sunny window at a temperature of about 70 degrees F. Remove the flowers when they begin to fade. When the plant has finished blooming, allow the foliage to mature and gradually reduce watering until the leaves have all died back. Allow the tubers to rest for two or three months in the dry pot.

African Violets by Kathleen McBride photos by T. Togasaki To add to African violet options, consider a range of leaf sizes, shapes, and colors. Leaf size is a common way of categorizing the plant. The general size options are micro (under 3 inches), mini (3-6 inches), semi-mini (6-8 inches), standard (8-16 inches), and large (more than 16 inches). Further variation occurs with different possible leaf types, which include greens from across the spectrum and accents from white to a deep reddish brown. African violet leaves also come in various shapes. A few examples include the lance leaf type, which is long and thin; the spoon type, which is rolled at the edges; the holly type, with crinkled edges; the serrated type, with saw-tooth edges; and the boy type leaf, which is the classic elongated heart. The leaves with white accents include the variegated and girl type. The girl type leaf has white at the base and the variegated leaf type has a white border surrounding its outer edge. Recent crosses with the Saint Paulia Magungensis plant have even produced trailing African violets, with long drooping stems holding smaller plantlets on their tips. Light is important for every plant and the African violet is no exception. However, eight hours of darkness are also necessary to keep your plant blooming. The flowering hormone in the African violet does not activate the blooming process until the plant is in the dark. If the chosen location for your violet does not have enough natural light, the plants can be grown with artificial grow lights, as long as they contain light from both the red and blue spectrums.
