Yay for african violets! I brought these home just before Mother's Day. It's been several years since I had one, that I gave up before a move. Does anyone know the ID of each of these plants? The plant on the left had more purple/white flowers that have already died off since bringing it home.

I put them in a separate room I keep for plant quarantine, and I leave the radio on- they seem to love the spot! They were kind of bobbly when I got them home after being in the plastic sleeve from the grower during transport, and I saw a web at the base of each plant from spider mites, but now they are definitely branching out after treatment.

Also, how about a favorite pot for AVs? I won't leave them in the nursery pot too much longer, but I've always used regular ceramic plant pots in the past. Want to try something different.
