Transplanting African Violets - Wisconsin Garden Video Blog 744

Описание: See More Garden Goodies: http://www.WisconsinGarden.com - - - The middle of winter is the perfect time for us to begin transplanting African Violets. We will be dividing, propagating and repotting several color species creating a special mixture of African potting mix along with lots of perlite. African Violets thrive in a loose soil mix with ample drainage because they don’t like their roots sitting in soggy soil. We’ve also enclosed several tender transplants inside plastic zip lock bags to help create a mini greenhouse effect where their roots can more gently develop. Baby Violet clusters will be transplanted in small plastic cup containers that do not have any drainage holes. That’s because we observed and check them several times a day on our kitchen incubator window sill, watering them only as needed. Once our propagated leaves produce baby plants, we will move them to a southern window grow light area. It’s recommended that one should transplant their African Violets at least once or twice a year to maintain a healthy growth and root system. Constant care in removing dying leaves and old stems from collecting on the soil surface, becoming an open invitation to bugs and disease. Get started and have fun transplanting your African Violets.
