Here is a better pic of the second pink double AV:

Now Xuan, you know IDs are practically impossible. But they sure are pretty; I love that first plant, with three (!) different flowers. Korina

Hi Katchan, Repotting will not get rid of mites. You need a miticide which kills all stages of mites(including eggs), like Forbid, which can be found on eBay. Eradicating them early before they do major damage is the key to saving your violets.

Nathanhurst; Thanks for you input. Who knows which factor is most important? My AV and Chiritas are now blooming like crazy being planted in the classic way in a 20gal terrarium. It seems now that everything is in bloom the suckering process has slowed down. Nothing is "potbound" since it is planted in the ground. One way to accomplish this in a classic terrarium is to take a knife and circumscribe a circle around the AV to cut down many of its roots. I have not had to choose this option. I know all other growing conditions are very good since all my propogating leaves each have many plantlets coming up withing 4-6 weeks. They were started in pure vermiculite inside the terrarium. As an aside, I have a small standard AV in a 6 inch self watering pot and it is starting to bloom. I am sure potbound is one more factor like all the rest, but each factor alone is not manditory. Thanks Ivan
