African Violets

Frozen in Time flower

9 years ago

If you have been on here for any time you know I've had trouble with frozen In Time reverting back to purple.:-( So I keep on starting leaves in hopes I'll get back to the original color scheme. After starting several leaves this Winter this is what I have. Close but still has a little purple around edge. I still have several more as you can see in the other post waiting to potted. So I keep trying. Pembroke

Personally, I really like the touch of purple in the flowers.

I ran across an mention of why flower colors change into purple. The article stated it was a symptom of imbalanced Ph. I don't know if that was referring to a specific flower or flowers generally. I just glanced at the information.
Might be worth it to check your PH

first, I went to Photoshop and dropped photobucket,seemed to much work for me. photoshop much easier at least for me. thanks to all those who tried to help me with photobucket. Next, Frozen In Time; I feed with Miracle-Gro Rose Plant Food (18-24-16) I mix the small part of spoon with gallon of water and use when top of soil mixture is dry. Usually once a week in my house as I keep house pretty warm in Winter. No special care was given to this AV as I have found that it truly is EASY to care for. I have it under fluorescent lights, one being a grow light and the other is called a sun light. About 12 -14 inches off of plants. I must say that this is my favorite AV and have given many starter plants away to family and friends. Glad you all have enjoyed my Frozen In Time. Pembroke

The purple is actually completely normal for Frozen in Time. Here's the official description that the hybridizer submitted to the African Violet Society of America:

Frozen in Time (9167) 02/03/2003 (Lyndon Lyon Greenhouses/Sorano) Single-semidouble white star/variable lavender tinge; green edge. Variegated light green and ivory, quilted. Standard.

No need to worry about pH or any disease here. Looks like a happy, healthy plant.
