    Me encanta tu colección. Yo tenía como 10 distintas violetas, pero se me enfermaron y solo me quedaron 3 muy tristes. Pero voy a seguir cuidando las para que estén bellas como las tuyas. Felicidades.

    Your African Violet Collection is so beautiful, I watched most of your videos and you inspired me to start my own collection, I have ordered from the Violet Barn Mini's, Standard, and Trailers which are doing really nice, your videos provided the info I needed for Light, Soil, Fertilizer, propagation and care. Thank you for sharing 💜

    • @grayturtleviolets
      @grayturtleviolets  2 роки тому

      Thank you! The variegated minis and semis are a result of growing under Barrina grow light, they seem to love it, showing the best variegation I’ve seen on them so far. The standards shown in this episode grow mostly under the regular LED shop lights.

      The variegated minis grow under the Barrina Full Spectrum grow light, and the other ones - under the 5,000K/4,100LM LED shop light, 10 hr/day.

    Beautiful collection!! I am wondering, are those miniature violets or standard size!! Mine have more leaves. Should I remove some leaves to make the plant blossoms longer? Thanks!!

    • @grayturtleviolets
      @grayturtleviolets  2 роки тому

      Thank you! Most of the varieties shown on shelf 1 are standards, most on shelf 2 are minis and semis. Yes, grooming and repotting regularly, every 6 months or so, helps encourage blooming.

    Where do you order mostly. Do you get plants or leaves?

    • @grayturtleviolets
      @grayturtleviolets  2 роки тому +1

      I order both plants and leaves, although I find that growing from leaves works best for me. It takes a while for newly acquired plants to go through quarantine and adjust to my growing environment, whereas those grown from leaves normally grow well right away. I had good experience ordering from Lyndon Lyon, Violet Barn, Woodland Blooms, Fancy Bloomers, and eBay.

      One more request, please. If possible, could you also list where you got each selection that you show in these wonderful videos whether it started as plant or leaves . for example, I noticed you cited Lyndon Lyon greenhouse on a couple. . I realize they may not have exact ones now but helpful place to start. Thank you!

      @@SS11660 When Lyndon Lyon Greenhouses is included in parentheses, it's usually part of the official description of the hybrid, denoting the hybridizer, rather than the acquisition source. Check out my African Violet Reviews playlist, I discuss the source where I got a particular hybrid from, in the individual AV hybrid reviews: ua-cam.com/play/PLUjJPrUsRFqLN3rQhqIADjx3dAa76DNv5.html. It has 80 hybrid reviews at the moment, hope I can produce more, time permitting. Appreciate your feedback!
