The third one that opened has an amazing colour! It gives of galaxy vibes 😍!
Hi from Chicago -- a couple of suggestions:
1.) collecting the seeds: instead of a paper towel to catch the seeds from the pod, use a sheet of typing paper with a crease in it. You can direct the position of the seeds, and make sure no seeds are left behind caught into the porous fibers of the paper towel;
2.) yeah, don't need the bark;
3.) you can mist the soil once you plant the seeds, as well as sparse peripheral watering;
4.) poke some holes in the top of the container, so they don't mold
5.) if you don't have starter trays and pots, you can use egg cartons, with small holes poked in the bottom of the chambers.
Looks like you did just fine, though. So save these for the next seed pod.
Good on the egg cartons. I use the hard plastic trays from large trays of separated chicken parts. Cleam, bleach, drill small holes in the bottom and put plastic wrap on the top over seeds and medium. Don't know if it'll work or not.
My father would cross breed his peppers.. He found it very useful to use a small paint brush to collect the pollen and then transfer that pollen to the stamen of the plant he wanted. He said that was so easy especially if the brush was not a synthetic fiber but real hair/fur.
Loved this, so happy to see the results after all this time! I fully support getting more African violets 😄 It's funny, I know a lot of people who grow both Orchids and Gesneriads (myself included!) - I think those two families just complement each other so well and offer so much diversity. If you want to branch out into other types of Gesneriads, I would really recommend Streptocarpus. Just as (if not more) beautiful, and just as easy to make hybrids with! I've done it myself and it's really fun and rewarding. Looking forward to seeing what you do next with these!
These are so beautiful!! The purple one is my favorite, it looks like a galaxy 😍
I’ve only just seen your video , I have inherited from my mum after she passed in February. It is a 21 year old plant. It’s a hanging African violet which grows long and can go over the side of pots. I’ve brought it back to life and created extra plants from the leaves so if one dies I will always have it. I’m thinking I might try to hybrid just for fun. I wish I could send a photo
Wow that purple one looks like a picture of outer space 🤩🤩🤩 it’s beautiful ☄️🔭
I am so impressed. It takes me ages to prop one or two from a leaf. Congrats!!!!!
The last one is SO pretty
The third one has totally opposite colours than my by-mistake hybrid. And mine has no ruffles. But now I'm even more interested in making my own violets I just have to find something really nice looking from flower shop to try and mix with mine. Thank you for updating your process.
This looks like such fun! I currently don't have a bunch of space or even indoor sunlight as I live in a basement with one window. It keeps me from being able to keep plants alive during the winter. I have tons of availability to african violets, being a general manager of a floral shop that also sells live plants. Specifically, euro-gardens and peace lilies (spath). I will def give this a try in the future. I tried to hybridize some amaryllis plants and got all the way to the seed formation and opened the pods to find nothing as they were bred to be sterilized to consumers of the retail level. I was pretty upset not going to lie.. But such is life, I guess. I also tried to hybridize some hibiscus flower bushes and also no success in that. I'm glad to see someone winning, haha!!
I've tried hibiscus too.... They formed seedpods and right before ripening they fell off 😭 i even tried crossing Rhynchostylis retusa with Phalaenopsis sesame , the cross took and after 1 month the seed pod fell off without properly ripening...it just shrivelled up 🤧
I have about a dozen African violets & I love them. I have no interest in hybridizing them but I do prpogate some for friends. I really enjoy them in addition to my orchids & other houseplants.
The galaxy pattern oh god danny if you register them ill buy them💚💚💚 it looks so pretty and special!
Wonderful work! Of all those, I like the pink one with the frilly petals the most. That and the lavender and white one are the best.
I’m so excited for this! I love my violets. They practically bloom all year 😉Totally trying this.
It's so exciting to see the fruitage of your hard work. There is nothing like seeing a plant grow and produce flowers. Well done! I can see why you got hooked on African violets, they are beautiful.
Very beautiful. One looks like a fresh cherry blossom and the other is it's own mysterious little universe. Well done! 👏
You should try to cross the cup flowers and the big ruffled pink ones. Try and get something between the two, or something entirely different.
And if you don't want to, I'd take the rejects and give it a shot! 😼
the one at 9:50 is 10000% worth registering it is so beautiful!!!
Love the deep purple and the pink with the white edges. They all are so beautiful. Now I want to go get an African Violet. I used to have many of them.
the purple fantasy galaxy is just beautiful, I saw a familiar one but less wrinkle edge and no fantasy/galaxy details. yours just beautiful!
Wow they are all so beautiful. Congrats! You accomplished what you set out to do. My loves violets and orchids. Currently propagated a white AV with variegated leaves. Lost variegation so why not propagate. My new baby is absolutely stunning with a lot of white variegation. She is more beautiful than what I originally bought. Lots of fun. I do enjoy your videos. 👍💚🇨🇦
All of the flowers are unique, and yes the one you may add to violet society is beautiful. Great science project Dani.
I have potted some of my African Violets in Leca they are doing really well
😍😍😍😍😍😍 beautiful! I bought 8 Russian standard size African violets and will try to get my own hybrids.
Amazing results! All of the plants turned out beautiful!
I'm so glad you filmed these videos! I learned so much! I have two African Violets & they bloom a lot. I just didn't know the rest of the steps to help them produce seed pods--thank you!
I’m so sold on this. I just started buying African Violets. I would LOVE to make my own hybrids. Please keep posting videos about African Violets!
I didn't know you can get multiple results from only 2 parent plants. This is exciting and I will try to make my own hybrids as well. Thanks for the video!
Whoaa i can almost fully remember when you crossed them 😮time just flies so fast!
Wow I love the deep purple I have few love them same is my orchids and hoyas
I have grown African Violets from seed I purchased online (Nadeau's African Violet Seeds), and found that I had so many plants that I had to give some away. Many had to be culled and discarded as well due to bloom dropping, mis-shaped flowers, lack of vigor, etc.. The ones I did keep were more than plenty. I have never attempted my own hybridization, though. Thanks for sharing! I too have orchids, as well as Streptocarpus or Cape Primrose.
I’ve kept violets for a couple of decades, knowing very little about them. The old ones I had were in need of help, so I began studying up on everything about violet care and propagation. Next thing I knew I was deep in the middle of a huge propagation project. Now, three years later, I am known as the Crazy Violet Lady. But one think I’ve never done is create my own hybrids by cross pollination. I will begin this experiment this weekend!
I think making your own African violet hybrids is so cool and fun! I currently only have one, will have to get another so I can make some cool hybrids.
As always another great video.
Thanks Danny!
Thank you for your videos! They've given me a lot of confidence as an amateur orchid enthusiast! Not sure if this is okay in the comments, but I'm not sure if I can save a rescue orchid whose entire crown rotted away. It still has healthy green roots and two healthy leaves
This was a great experiment.. I really love the light pink (not fluffy) bloom. I have one AV that I have had for a couple years now and she is so beautiful and always blooms even though I feel like I neglect her all the time.
Thank you for sharing, I am certainly try this out now that I know how to pollinate the plants
Lol for some reason I especially like the distorted one :D But the other ones are gorgeous as well, the dark one with the galaxy pattern is stunning.
I have a bunch of african violets, including a super beautiful blue one with a stripy star pattern that I found at a flower shop! So far I've only propagated them through leaf cuttings, and I have some new babies from leaf cuttings I bought online, don't yet know what these will look like. If there's something really cool among these then I might try to hybridise them and the blue one!
Lol but also uhg.. i hate when i forget to rehydrate my soil before repotting.. it doesnt happen super often but often enough I annoy myself.. lol.. your hybrids are so cute and fun! Inspires me to try for myself one day!
OMG this is so awesome! do you think you could do a 1 year update video soon?? im so interested.
Ooo the star shaped flower is super pretty!!
Amazing! And the dark violet is terrific!! Just my favourite colour and form! Congrats 👏👏
Love the deep purple hybrid! Thanks for making this video!
Creating hybrids of any plant is fun. I accidentally created some mild ('mild' meaning that they didn't change much but it is noticeable) pansy hybrids and I have seeds from last summer. Gonna plant them now and see how they look!
Strange how some plants are so popular in certain places and considered almost "weeds" in other places. Glad you are enjoying the African violets!
How fun! They turned out gorgeous, it was worth the waiting! Definetely going to try, I don't know if I will have the patience until my plants start to bloom again. I may need to buy some new ones, to create even more new ones.
Simply beautiful Danny!! I found a variegated African violet at a local big box store and want to try this technique... I'm so excited, Thank You for sharing
I really admire your patience. Great experience 👍!!!
Love the deep purple flower! Very 😎!
Each time your video amazes me!! Great content!!! 👍
Thanks for taking the time to show all this! It's amazing to see how the hybrids turned out; I just love the purple one! I've been growing African violets for years, but recently one of mine has formed a seedpod on its own. I don't even know which other violet it crossed with! So I'm looking forward to seeing how its babies will turn out. I hope I get some pretty ones like you did!
How fun!! The most I’ve done is take a leaf cutting and made some babies. Not sure I understand the pollination part but you made it look pretty easy. I could probably figure it out!😝. But African violets are a lot of fun! Thanks for the video!
I love this! ❤ Now I will have to be a mad scientist too!🎉
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing 💕
All of them are absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!🥳
I’m hybridizing and making chimeras, my new favorite thing.
Wow would love to have some if these
This looks like so so much fun and I cant wait to make my own Hybrids. Currently most of them are in bloom. I have a Trailer where I looove the growing pattern but I wish for other Flowers so I can try to make my own😍
This is fantastic. I want to try it 🙌
this seems like a lot of fun. Now want to get some african violets for the sole purpose of experimenting with hybridasation.
Wow. Great job
I love your AV videos! Such a fun watch to see how your hybrids turned out!
I loooove the resaults😍
They came out so well!
Just wow!
Oh my god, i love the pink one with the white border!! Will you be selling leaves at any point? Also, I'm trying to cross my avs but they never seem to bloom at the same time 😭
Dani, have you considered Auricula plants for making very beautiful hybrids? These could live outside on your balcony
Just pretty indeed. Clever girl.
MissOrchidGirl - My Mom and I would like to suggest the name for your purple African Violet could be: "Deep Purple Galaxy." This is because it looks like purple coloured deep space with galaxies within. Also, you could call the pink one: "Starry Heaven." We hope you like the names and thanks for all your lovely videos, we really love them! Orange is my favorite colour too BTW, as you can see from my Swirl avatar that I made!
How long did it take for the seeds to get to baby plants large enough to be repotted? Please do more African Violet videos 😁
oh at least 6 months or so 😁
Great video!
Mis Danny you are so awesome, thank for the video
Hi,Dany😃
I need update on your AV😊
How did you get those seeds from the start..... another tutorial perhaps... thank you.
1st comment 😁😁
ohh 😊😊 love the update you made on the African violets, I used to own many, but it's prone to meally bugs and sensitive to extremely heat that I lost them 😅. but the cross is really great 😮 I wish is the same with orchids but nope, what to do 🥲
You did so well!! Thank you for the video if beautiful
Me gustaría verlo en Español
