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?

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.

That looks like a beautiful Rose Bouquet that you showcased at the end of the video... with a beautiful pink blooms?
You got it, it was Rose Bouquet shown at the end.
On your hunter’s slippery when wet, how do you tell when foliage lacks nutrition?

@@grayturtleviolets thank you. that's very helpful info, as always.
Inspiring episode!
Thanks so much!
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 very interesting thank you!
Do you have multiple plants of the "glitter fountain" in one pot?
Yes, I originally potted up three little babies which have since grown into multiple crowns.
I just finished watering
Good job! I watered mine today, too! They surely keep us busy, these little beauties!
