Would love to see a contribution on how you are propagating the African Violets! Cool photos! <br/>

note to self... dude use contributions. lol.

deleted someones strange comments that seemed to be spam leaving her email for a business idea... if this is u I don&#x27;t appreciate spam..you know who u are... if u have something that legit then post it or post something more convincing not something that sounds like a porn add. CREEPY need i say more..... <br/>Anything not pertaining to gardening has no place on my page thank you. <br/> <br/>now go grow something and share with the growing community here.

have u ever tried plant lights? <br/>my system is very straight forward and works real well... <br/> <br/>its a metal rack ( it adjust better than the plastic ones ) <br/>large trays ( army surplus baking trays for cakes ) but regular cookie trays would work <br/> <br/>aquarium gravel for controlling water over flows and for providing humidy when needed mostly winter time <br/> <br/>and 4 foot shop lights two by two... I use plant lights mixed with aquarium salt water bulbs (online) for getting the closest and max coverage of the spectrum for my plants.. <br/> <br/>of coarse the normal shifting and moving around of plants as needed.. <br/> <br/>also the shelf unit i use is the type that adjust by inch.. 14&quot;x48&quot;x56&quot; <br/>i use the bottom or top for storage of pots etc.. as needed <br/> <br/>again hope someone finds this of use. <br/>

i had a thought i would like to share to those that are newer to gardening than i. <br/> <br/>I have been using my cake dome for my mini african violets... see pics.. I have been gardening for decades now, and this never accrued to me before... ok im slow... for the FIRST TIME i actually have a AF re-bloom... for me... <br/> <br/>pic wont show this but i have kept a thin...layer of water on the plate part of the dome... covered the plants that hadn&#x27;t bloomed ( or should say stopped blooming for a month) then I was shocked they started to re-bloom... as I said I have been gardening for decades and never had AF&#x27;s re-bloom for me... <br/> <br/>hope someone reads this and finds it of use... <br/>

haha posted in the wrong spot lol.... time to really take advantage of this site and share stuff see you soon. <br/>brandon

Oh boy i have been offline for awhile. Break from school much needed let me tell you. I have exciting things I hope to track and should share with the group going to do a mock up of my thesis project. <br/> <br/>In my defense I was out of the country (italy) for a month... don&#x27;t hate me I got to and did enjoy a whole new world of plants can you imagine seeing orchids growing wild... my god i have to post those pics... my computer is creating issues will be back soon.... later Brandon

Brandon, I&#x27;m happy to meet a &quot;fellow Michigander&quot; who loves gardening AND Art &amp; Design! They&#x27;re right up my alley, however, I&#x27;m not an expert in either but love them both!!I&#x27;m hurrying but will get back with you soon and also be glad to fill out your survey. <br/>Nice to make new friends! faerie garden!

<br/> <br/>Another fun way to use the site is to go to the plant database and upload plants-- you can upload the image, give a description, give details and then you will part of the network of the database. It&#x27;s pretty cool...
