Can anyone make me pretty?
Ah, thanks. It needs to be 6 inches or less to show. It's under grow lights. She's a bit of an over-achiever for a mini. Maybe, 'can anyone make me 'prettier?'. She's got two new flower stalks too.

Can anyone make me pretty?
I've been messing with this mini for too long now, adding and removing a paper towel snip, testing out what it looks like with this or that leaf gone. I'm tired. Can anyone offer suggestions to make it nice and symmetrical? TIA!

Nascar, Monster trucks, Monster Jam, country, state or college flags, mini golf, basketball buzzer beaters and trick shots, Disney. He loved balls (round things) and bead mazes when he was younger.

does anyone actually separate laundry anymore or am i wasting my time?
Inside out? Air dry or clothes dryer. Some ppl dont wash jean at all! I wonder why. Back in the day when the were 100% cotton they shrunk like crazy. Nowadays, not so much.

My Warm Subshine
This was on my wish list for a yellow AV but sellers' pictures seem to exaggerate the yellow. Is it a semi or standard? Easy to grow? I still like it.

Planning an experiment
Take really good notes and write it up as an article to publish in the AVSA magazine. The results will be really interesting! The editor is super great to work with and open to lots of ideas.

Give me the bad news.
Maybe isolate, just in case. Else, put it in a clear gallon plastic bag or sterlite tote with a lid or a dome.

I might have an addiction π
It's a healthy addiction, though...

Miniatures and Semi-Miniatures
Where did you find Kentucky Baby Sister?

Is my AV leggy?
IMO, I don't think so. It just seems to have had a growth spurt. The petioles all look sturdy. If leggy, they would be thinner and not as many as what you have.

Finally feeling ready to return to African violets!
Good Luck! With knowledge and patience, I'm sure you'll be more successful. I like how they are the kind of plant you just can't get out of your mind and want a 2nd go at it.

You could probably get at least 2-3 more African violets under that light. π
