2. ABOUT NADEAU As a child growing up in Manchester, NH, I always looked forward to visiting my Grandmother. She let me work in her garden and taught me a lot about growing plants, especially African violets. I grew violets in my bedroom until high school, but then I got busy with other stuff and did not grow them again until around 20 years later. That’s when, in 1974, just after moving from California to St. Louis, I happened to see an ad for an African violet show at the Missouri Botanical Garden. There I met many African violet enthusiasts and left the show with small plants and plenty of info about African violet clubs in St Louis. I joined one of the clubs, acquired more plants, built plant stands, and found myself firmly back in my African violet hobby. I grew many attractive plants from leaves supplied by fellow hobbyists, and this time around got involved in something different, hybridizing and producing African violet seeds. There’s something about growing any plant from seeds; you’ve got to be a fellow seeds person to understand it. Even now numerous crape myrtles that beautify our front yard resulted from my hybridization efforts with crapes.

3. Transplanting African Violets: A Labor Of Love Transplanting African violets is an art that requires patience, care, and attention to detail. Whether you're refreshing your existing plants or nurturing new ones, the process begins with selecting the right time and equipment. Timing is Everything African violets are most receptive to transplanting when actively growing, usually in the spring or early summer. This is when they put forth new growth, making it the ideal time to divide and transplant them. The Right Potting Mix African violets prefer a well-draining, lightweight, and slightly acidic potting mix. Commercial African violet mixes are readily available, but you can also make your own by combining components like peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite. Careful Removal and Division To transplant African violets, gently remove them from their existing pots. Carefully divide the plant into smaller sections, ensuring each team has healthy roots and leaves. Trim any damaged or dead roots.
