- I've always wanted a variegated African violet, but could never find one in stores. So I bought some variegated African violet seeds!
I bought my seeds from Ronn Nadeau, who is also on RUclips: • Sowing African violet ...
You can buy seeds here: nadeausafrican...
It's a pretty easy process, though you may want to keep in mind light and humidity. Let me know if you've tried these popular house plants in the comments!

Thank you for this video. I am starting some African Violet seeds and you were very helpful. I don' t have a prop box so I put the container in a large zip lock bag to keep the humidity up. I can hardly wait for them sprouting.
i came here to learn about the violets but was really stunned by how beautiful you look !
Haniya, thank you for making this video about African Violet seeds germination. I have Liquinox Start Vitamin B-1 home. I thought it was only for transplanting small plants and seedlings. The B-1 transplant solution helps reduce transplanting shock and promote root growth. Now you have provided an example of a new usage. 😃
Thank you for watching! I figured that if it helps roots, it helps roots, and I haven't had any issues yet! It's probably not the right fertilizer forever, but I find it helps gets seeds going!
Dang Haniya you are patiennnttttt! I can't wait to see how the variegation comes through
I promise I am not! I just have like a ton of seeds and i start a bunch at once so when some aren't growing fast others might!
Hi Haniya! Your videos r so cool! Thank u 4 them! I can barely understand what you say but watching you dealing with these tiny things is so fascinating! Thanks again
Your new follower from Russia
Thank you so much for watching! I'll try to add subtitles so at least you can read what I'm saying!
@@HaniyaRae can't wait to see ur new videos!
I just want to say.. man to woman... you are awesome and cool for liking all of this stuff.
Hahaha thanks for watching!
Great video! I watched the cape primrose video too and it’s very interesting! I wanna try AV seeds this fall.
Right now I have a strep fruit still ripening and have sown some Deinostigma tamiana seeds.
Fun fact: African violets are now part of. Strepyocarpus!!!
Oh neat!!! I should update. AV seeds are thankfully very easy!
Thanks for sharing your process with African Violet seeds! What type of prop box do you use? I love how clear and tall it is for taller plants!
Hey! I use the clear Lookers boxes from The Container Store :-)
Thank you
When the seeds come up are they long with little leaves on the top
I planted see and some came up but they are so long. They are under lights. Is that what they do
If you run out of topics for your videos.....How are your Sinningias doing? I want to grow some next year.
And there is one tree you might be interested ib. Its called Argania spinosa from southern Morocco. Very pretty looking plant.
Thanks for the suggestion! and it's funny you ask about the sinningias. They aren't doing so well, so I'm asking the botanist who found irae how he plants his seeds...I think maybe cactus substrate wasn't the best idea for those seeds unfortunately
@@HaniyaRae Maybe you chose the wrong time of the year. I realized some years ago that my Sinningias had an internal clock and it runs in brasilian time. Sometimes real sunlight is better than lamps.
@@Neidhard-von-Blaufels very true! Many times I plant seeds by the moon phases/signs with the same thought, that it might have some connection with how well the seeds perform. I do think there are direct impacts from the cosmos to earth :-)
Reuse a plastic cake container from bakery :)
can you grow them in a grow tent? I've been growing plants on the window ledge by my kitchen sink can I grow them there?
I think so for either situation. I'd just make sure the light is even, and that they still have a covering to keep the humidity in
@@HaniyaRae so I just started growing a bonsai tree and I’m really enjoying so I did some research and wanna start growing the violets. Any tips for beginners? And I found a plastic cup to plant the seeds in and it come with a cap would that work? Also do you have anymore videos specifically for this flower?
oh nice! i really like sungro's african violet soil mix. I don't have any more videos, but maybe I'll make some! I have a bunch of seedlings and plants. I think they light a fair amount of light, so you might need a grow light if you don't have a sunny window. Mine are in about 70 percent humidity but they can tolerate down to about 40 percent in a house.
@@HaniyaRae would I be able to email or message you on something? I would like to send you some pictures of my plants to make sure I’m doing everything right
@@aliyahtwd6203 Sure! My instagram is my same name, @haniyarae, if you want to message me on there? probably the fastest way to get a response
Was anyone leaning your head to the left around 4:20 when she was opening the packet of seeds?
Thanks for watching! I'm not sure what you mean?
TYFS🎉 Please show how long it takes to mature from seeds 6 or 9 Mos. LOL🎉
Hi there! Probably 9 months is more like it, or even slightly more. I’m talking like 5 to 7 inches in diameter
How many seeds do I need for 1 plant? I just bought 150 seeds, it's that enough for more than 1 plant?
hi there! it depends on your conditions but in general yes, that should give you tens of plants!
Inspired by your example, I just received my Tylecodon Paniculatus Butter Tree seeds from Israel today. How many did you end up germinating Haniya? Any lessons learnt? Thanks....
Unfortunately they didn’t make it, but I did talk to someone who’s had more success than me so I might do an update video shortly. Use 1/4 inch pumice and sand, sprinkle on top, and cover. They did say that sometimes the seed isn’t great, so just keep trying!!
@@HaniyaRae its just a shot in the dark Haniya, seeing as they seem impossible to purchase. If this one try doesn't work I probably won't try again - I don't have so many more years to devote to it not being a young man anymore.
Just one god, just oneI.
Thank you so much for replying - you really are a genuinely warm person √
@@barryauguste9734 oh no! can you buy a seedling that's already established?
I want to know what happen to your African Violet! Please make an update
It’s on my to do list!! I’m so bad about updates
@@HaniyaRae Forgetting always happens!
can I buy african violets seeds onlin
You can! Depends on what country you’re in and whether they ship there though
I bought African Violet seeds from Mr Nadeau too. Haniya has included his website below her video. Perhaps you can write an email to him. He usually replies fast.
