To the members of the Malta Dirt Daubers Garden Club: I do have African violet plants for you to use as part of the Grow Along Project. A very limited number is available, so I ask you buy a plant only if you hope/intend to participate in the project. One plant per member. $9 each. The size and age of the plants vary... These are plants I ordered for myself, for 9 to 12 dollars each. They are strong and healthy... some are young/smaller... others are a little older/larger. Please send me a PM or a phone call (John and Debbie Stout, Harlem in the phone book). I will be delivering to Malta on this Friday, June 11th.

The INSTRUCTIONS, the SCHEDULE, Introduction, and the STEPS TO BEGIN your plant are posted in the Project Album. As we progress through the next four months, reminders of the tasks to be done will be posted, as well as helpful READING LISTS. This post will be pinned to the top of the page, so you can keep an eye on the schedule.

Re-potting an African violet is the first step to 'Jump-Starting' a young plant, or 'Rejuvenating' an older plant!
Here are a few great articles and videos to help both hesitant beginners and experienced collectors. There is always something new to learn from others. I will add links to the videos in the comments below.

Many of us know someone who is a magician with plants. Everything seems to thrive in that person’s care. The difference between a magic green thumb and a hapless brown thumb is often found in the subtle techniques of repotting. That’s especially true with African violets. Sick violets often reco...
