Not sure about the variegated AV's. I am interested in the answer to that question as well.


I have a lot of variegated african violets and do not find them any more difficult. The problem is that when propagating by leaf, sometimes babies come out all white or cream colored and if you take them off the mother leaf they will usually die unless you can get them to start turning at least a little bit green. They say you can get them to green up a bit by using Epson salt in the water or fish fertilizer. Sometimes it helps, other times not. Rose Bouquet seems to be one I always have difficulty with babies being too white. Karen M
