I grew a violet!by Tara Nolan |
Without even trying. Usually the life of my houseplants veers sharply in the other direction–towards the death side of things. But in my wee violet pot, a baby was born. My question is, how do I take it out to repot it without damaging the roots?

Remove plant from pot and tease the baby from the parent making sure you have roots on the baby. Repot your plants making sure that the pot isnt too large and water. You now have two african violets. Congratulations!!!
I’ve had one African Violet given to me by my Grandma. I have since (without trying) grown 4 offsprings. All you need to do is gently remove the baby from the parent along with the roots and replant into a small container. Keep them both in daylight and water and they should both do fine!
Thanks Marg and Tracy!
