Babies Birth African Violet Help

Saralyn Borg
6 years ago

Hello,

African violets are new to me and when my baby was given one I was told it is easy to kill, and will die right away.

3 months later I started looking into them, and found that wasn't the case, at all.

Then I processed to try and kill the poor plant by "taking care of it." I've been reading as much as I can to save it, but have been dealt another blow.

Someone hit the bag and snapped a leaf, it's the one resting on the ornament now.

I took the opportunity to pull the plant out of its coconut fiber soil, gently freed all the roots, and disposed of its dead friends. The snapped leaf shares a stub with the other two leaves so I rested it on the ornament to die.

Then I put the whole works with straws to prevent the bag from collapsing again, back into the bag as the soil was shockingly most. I did drain the pooled water from the outer pot.


What should I do now. You can see 2 healthy leaves. I've never fed it, and the roots are not rotting. It gets lots of indirect sunlight now.

Please help.
