My African Violet plants are growing profusely. I give them a drink every two weeks along with a dose of plant food. They appear to be healthy and happy in the pots that hold water on the bottom.
Two out of three plants are growing new plants next to them. One plant has already cast off part of its second plant and dropped it on the windowsill one day. I found it sitting there forlornly and quickly transplanted the little plant into another pot. However, the pot I put it in was not the same type of pot that the mother plant was in. It quickly died in spite of my efforts to nurse it back with food and water. Sigh!
Now I noticed two out of three plants that I have are producing more plants alongside them. I am waiting to see if they will be cast off like the other one. I am prepared this time with three new empty pots to transplant them. It is an amazing thing to see. Here are some photos I have taken to show you the plants that are growing on each side, separate from the mother plants.
If you look closely at the first four photos you will see some darker green on one side different from the lighter green on the opposite side. They push out more than the pot can handle and cast them off. I haven’t seen any pots like this type that are larger to handle the growth. I think that the plants would still do this even if they had more space to grow.
The first photo above appears to have a new plant on each side with the mother plant in the middle. Yikes! I hope it doesn’t drop two babies! In the fourth photo on the left above you can see clearly the newer green leaves that are growing around the mother plant almost pushing her away to make room for its growth. Fascinating! Have any of you experienced this with your African Violets? I’d love to hear about what you did.
Here is another plant which I don’t remember what it is that is growing tall and beautiful but with only one flower. I think it is time to re-pot it. Anyone know what this plant is called?
We got our first zucchini from our plant on the deck. I am going to make a casserole with it along with some we purchased from the grocery store. Can’t wait to have some. I posted a recipe for my zucchini casserole on Janice’s Kitchen Corner. Check it out.
Thank you so much for stopping by to read this post. Come back again for more posts about whatever pops into my head.
Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!

So pretty! One of my friends was a magician with African Violets. People would bring them to her to revive them. The plants loved her.
Mine are doing too well right now and reproducing. I have never seen anything like this. My mother had one and hers never reproduced another plant like this. Sigh!
