Yes. When repotting, you do not need to disturb the root to GREATLY lessen the stress on the plant. This is honestly a masterclass on repotting just about any plants.
I'm glad you talked about that big one...just wow...Great idea w/the terrariums...I learned a lot & I'm doing everything rite....I've marked my calendar 🗓 to repot next year...thanx😊
Thank you for your videos. A neighbor just gifted me two beautifully little African violets and I have no clue of how to care for them. Your plants are beautiful. Your videos are so wonderfully enlightening and encouraging. 😊
My Auntie uses a wick system to water her violets and other plants and a double pot system using the orchid pots inside another pot. She will also take a piece of women's hosiery and put the orchid pot inside the hose to hold soil in but also allow water to go in or out.
I have an African Violet that has a neck developing above the soil, with small roots out from that. It use to be the same height as the pot, and then I repotted and it is doing this. Thanks for the information!
This video and the amount of information was just wonderful because I didn't know any of the information. I have a little African violet that I've been trying to nurse along so now I know what to do. I thank you so much for providing all of the types of information you did in one video!I took notes and I'll be watching you again because I did subscribe🙂. I used to grow all colors of violets back in the '70s ... under lights in a special room. I sold a lot of them to local garden centers & individuals. Right now I just want a few of different colors. Thank you again, love and violets 💕
I guess I’ve been using my AV pot incorrectly. I put the water in it and leave it until it’s all absorbed and then I do it again. My 4-yr old plant seems to like it. It bloomed last year for at least 6 months straight. I never knew it could do that (it’s my one and only violet). I’m needing to repot because it has a baby to be taken out, hence my watching AV videos.
My violet was sitting outside and the wind blew it over so.I reported it in a ceramic glazed pot that I wasn't using. The bottom.leaves are touching the rim of the pot and they are weak. Please help.
The only thing I was doing right was watering from the bottom. My AV was almost growing over the side of the pot, I repotted it but took the old dirt off. The root system is very fine and there was only a stem left 😮. I’m not confident it will live.
I would like to see a video of how to take an African Violet that is not so healthy and get it better. My specific issue is one that doesn't have very many leaves on it and a very thick root that is exposed on top of the dirt. Can I help it get healthy again?
Hi, I know you are busy... I was given an African Violet on Valentine's day. It just keeps getting more and more sick. I'm usually good with plants but this one is perplexing. I have a photo but don't think there's a way to post it here. Thank you if you can help.
If you take the plant out of the pot, and see the bottom and sides are covered with roots, the plant is too big for the pot, and we call that root bound or pot bound.
Newbie to African Violets. Getting a lot of info from this video, so I am constantly putting you on pause while I take notes. Big favor - Can you slow down a bit, you know your stuff and it comes natural to you, maybe that is why you talk so fast. I just repeat the segment about 3 times.

I bought one for $1 today on a whim not knowing what it is, what color it'll bloom or even how to care for it. But I'm so excited to learn!

I never understood why my African violets never lasted. Now I know I watered them the wrong way. Thank you very much much.

I love your watering method. How often do you need to water (soak them)?
Can you please tell me where you purchased your green house you used to put two of your plants?
Are the plants in the large terracotta pot leaves of Linley to transplant???

you really dont need to disturb the root ball just like what she did
How do you measure the right pot size if you're going for a shallower pot? Would it still be 1/3 of the diameter of the leaves?
How to transplant or grow violets from violets!!!!! Please ,!!!
I have a variegated violet and has never bloomed what can I do?
I cannot find terra cotta pots that are a little wider at the bottom
I would like to see a video of how to take an African Violet that is not so healthy and get it better. My specific issue is one that doesn't have very many leaves on it and a very thick root that is exposed on top of the dirt. Can I help it get healthy again?
Do these new pots have drainage holes?

Check out avsa.org/ they are a great resource!
What is the name of this African violet?
Can you split them?
They grow from one central stem, so no, there's nothing to split (if you mean traditional root splitting).
You can grow a new one, from a leaf though.
Violetas me encantan pero si
Podria traducir en español gracias
I did not have success in tenting. I found it created too much condensation and the leaves rotted.

What is root bound?
when the roots have grown to the point that they are pushing against the wall inside pot its in
If you take the plant out of the pot, and see the bottom and sides are covered with roots, the plant is too big for the pot, and we call that root bound or pot bound.
