Thanks very much Laura. I never thought I would be a lover of African violets but they grew on me. 😄 @columbiariver

Thanks Katy. I do too. I have 2 plants like this and they don’t seem to produce a lot of blooms but they are very pretty. 💜 @gjones

Wow -93 years old and was living on her own. That is amazing. Nice you got a violet to add to your collection. White would be lovely. 🤍 Pretty far away to visit Glyn’s Mom. You can always make it a few days for a nice getaway. 😄 @gjones

That’s a beauty Diane .. love them 💜🖤

Thanks Julie. I used to kill them by overwatering but I think I finally figured their needs out. Their flowers are so pretty especially now when we are blanketed in snow. 💜 @juliesgarden

Thanks very much Karen. I agree 💜 @KOutdoors

So pretty.

Thanks Katy. I have 4 blooming now and one with so much beautiful foliage but no flowers. 💜 @gjones

Thanks Susan. Love to see my violets in bloom. 💜 @novicegardenlover

It’s gorgeous Diane!! I love it! 💜💜💜

Thanks very much. @cheriej I love it when they flower. 💜

Just glorious! 💜💜💜

Do you keep these in Air conditioning in summer? 🌞

Yes we do. We keep our temp at 22 and I have a humidifier to help with the dryness. 😄 @sunlovin

Thanks very much Angela. I have 4 with blooms right now. So nice to see flowers indoors now that they are done outdoors 😄 @italydiva

Thanks. When I tried to grow them, because I don’t have air conditioning, they would do well until June when the humidity would hit, then they would all die. 🌞

Very welcome. They don’t like humidity I guess. They do not like their leaves wet. I do not put my violets in the room with the humidifier and they do well. 😄 @sunlovin

Wow I’ve never seen one look so healthy and the colors are so vibrant. Wonderful 🤩

Thanks Very much. I used to kill my African violets but now they all are healthy so I must be doing something right 😁 @philstalder

It’s your plant mama nurturing. 🙂

It’s beautiful! Makes me want to try them again!! 💜💜💜

Thanks so much @cheriej I had given up on them then tried again and they are doing well this time around. I have a few now. 😍

Beautiful 🤩

I have this one ..beautiful 💜

Thanks so very much ladies. She is looking lovely with all those blooms. 💙💜💙 @ShelleySnyder @gjones @juliesgarden

So very welcome! 💘😍

Incredible! 💜💜💜

Thanks Kerry. I had a pink one full of blooms too but the blooms wilted. Then I discovered those darn mealy bugs again. Out came the spray. The bugs love my violets. 🙁 Why do we have to have all these pests. George and I were watering and noticed that Japanese beetles have chewed through a lot of the leaves on my variegated maple. 😡 @kez001uk

@hkyfvr oh no 😨 bugs from all angles 😱 I do hope you can save both plants, especially the maple 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks Kerry. We tried something today for the Japanese beetles. It seems to be working. Time will tell. 🙏🙏 @kez001uk

@hkyfvr I do hope it is effective 🤞🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻

Thanks Kerry. So far so good. 🤞🤞 @kez001uk

Thanks so much Richard. Am really enjoying all those flowers. 💜💙💜 @richard.spicer.7906

I know. It has a few more buds to open still. 👍😍 @kez001uk

@hkyfvr you definitely have the magic touch with these. Haven’t managed to get mine to re-flower yet 😜

Thanks. Since I started using liquid African violet fertilizer they rebloom for me. I used to kill these before gtags. I have Katy to thank for her wise advice. 🙏♥️ @kez001uk

Beautiful love the colour contrast

The flowers look like an ombré effect 💜🤍

Thanks Jason. I tend to like the purples but I think I should have a pink for variety. 💗💗😍 @hebelover

Thanks so much Alan. I do like the two tone flowers. Adds variety 😁🥰 @alan1111

Thanks Kerry. Never looked at it that way but you are right. You have an artistic eye. Great imagination too 💜🤍 @kez001uk

W💗W, you are having such good luck with yours👍 I have one flower left on mine with 2-3 buds hoping she blooms..thinking maybe she needs more light🤔 yours IS gorgeous, Diane😍

Thanks. It still has a few more buds to flower too. My other violet has started to bloom also. Just one flower. Will post soon. Mine get lots of light. They need more water now also. 👍😍 @crabby58

I have mine sitting on kitchen window sill facing East, liquid fertilizer mixed with rain water, I fill the tray with the water and small pebbles, cut off all flowers as they die off, have a few buds 🤞🤞🤞fingers crossed she blooms. This is my 1st African violet in a long long time😍 holding my breath😅

She will for sure. You are doing everything right. Any day she will bloom for you. It takes a while for those blooms to start opening I find. 👍👍😍 @crabby58

I used to kill them before I joined Gtags. I have learned so much here 👍😍 @ShelleySnyder

Thanks very much Jason. Used to kill these plants. Think all I have learned here has helped me a lot 👍😍 @hebelover

Do you keep your violets inside during summer in air conditioning? Mine would die as soon as it turned humid. 🌞

Yes they are strictly indoors. They do not mind the A/C. We keep it at 23 in the summer. 👍😍

Thanks Thelma. Second blooming for these. Very happy I finally kept these alive long enough to bloom again. 💜👍 @crabby58

Thanks so much Phil. Am getting better at keeping these looking good. I used to be a serial violet killer. 🙀 @philstader

Thanks Katy. Am doing so much better with these. Your advice helped a lot. Thanks for that. 👍😍 @gjones

Thanks so much for those kind words. Don’t think my thumb is green quite yet but it is getting there slowly 🤣👍😍 @gjones

Love the hairy leaves 🍃😀

It’s beautiful! Love that color of flower and leaves look so healthy.

Yay..beautiful blooms💜💗

Thanks so much Thelma. Just looked outside and the porch is covered in snow and it is coming down still. Pretty wet so won’t last. Just what we needed ☹️🤦♀️🤦♀️ @crabby58

Thanks so much. I really like this colour too 💜😍 @emch

I know. I never notice how furry they are till I look at a photo. At least I have kept my 3 violets alive this time 👍💜😍 @hebelover

Wow, not surprising, we are going down to 34° tonight 😯

Thanks very much. I never used to be able to keep these alive but now I have 3 healthy plants. Advice I got on gtags made the difference 👍💜🤍 @cheriej

I love all the colors they co.e in now but I have never gotten one of these plants to bloom, so bleagh.

This is my first time getting one to bloom. Used African Violet fertilizer. Seems to have worked 🤷♀️💜 @emch

Beautiful Diane. I just got a pink and white one, trying my luck again with these. Since joining this app, I've learned so much on how to care for these.before I would just pour water over top of these to water..that's how I killed them I'm guessing. I've found out that's not how it's done😃 I have her sitting on a pebble tray with water👍 yours is gorgeous💜

I did the same thing with my past violets. Now that I know what to do my 3 look healthy. Just hope they flower again 🤞😍 @crabby58

🤞I would bet🤞 we'll both grow healthier violets now that we are wiser😘

I agree. We will grow beautiful violets. 💜💕 @crabby58

Amazzzzzing photo! I once hated African Violets because I always 'heard' they were finicky. But I had one and put but out in the front patio and I FELL IN LOVE!

I lost them all, too cold.

I felt the same way as mine always died but decided to try again. So far so good.🤞🤞 Thanks Tanya 😍💕 @TexasTanya
