    On your hunter’s slippery when wet, how do you tell when foliage lacks nutrition?

    • @grayturtleviolets

      The center leaves are smaller than they normally grow, and a bit hard to the touch - a consequence of growing in the same potting mix for too long and growing in cold temperatures, too.

    i loved both episodes this month. i'm curious about your Hunter's Slippery When Wet. when you say the foliage looks like it's lacking nutrition, what are you seeing? the leaves look really dark green (unless they are supposed to be darker?), so what is the clue that it needs nutrients?

      Thanks so much! The center leaves on Hunter's Slippery When Wet are smaller than they normally grow, and a bit hard to the touch - a consequence of growing in the same potting mix for too long and, possibly, pH imbalance and growing in cold temperatures, too.

    Lovely plants. I have a question, what did you put over your shelves? I have a similar shelf and you have to be careful that the plants don't tip

      My shelving unit came with the pre-cut liners. It's called TRINITY 4-Tier 48" x 18" x 72" Black Wire Shelving w/ Wheels and Liners, got it at Walmart last year.

      I also bought the fairly firm shelf liners that fit my 36in shelf perfectly from Amazon... and I believe they also have them in 48 in.

    I was wondering how you can tell from the foliage if an African violet has nutrients definitely?

    • @grayturtleviolets
      @grayturtleviolets  3 года назад +1

      Usually, the center leaves, for example on the Hunter's Slippery When Wet plant, look smaller than they normally grow, and a bit hard to the touch - a consequence of growing in the same potting mix for too long and, possibly, pH imbalance and growing in cold temperatures, too.

    Do you have multiple plants of the "glitter fountain" in one pot?

    • @grayturtleviolets
      @grayturtleviolets  3 года назад +1

      Yes, I originally potted up three little babies which have since grown into multiple crowns.
