African violet propagation in water
It took a bit longer than I expected, but the African violet leaves that I talked about in January have finally sprouted baby plants! This goes for both the leaves planted in vermiculite as well as the leaves left in water.
You can see what the vermiculite cups look like now at Flickr. Those leaves just broke the surface of the vermiculite last week. They look much sturdier than the leaves growing in water.
I'm going to try transplanting the water-propagated plants to well-moistened vermiculite when they get a little larger to help them develop soil roots.

I love African Vioets too. Oh and by the way thank you! I had actually been searching the internet to see just how long propagating my violet in water would take and this was one of the first things I found. Thanks again.
