There is still time to register for our October 19 workshop on propagation and repotting techniques for African Violets.
Instruction will be provided on how to grow single crown plants, including miniature, semi-miniature and standard sized African Violets. While some plants and leaf cuttings will be provided (see photos), don't hesitate to bring some of your own plants that need some help. Do you have plants with long or crooked necks, a malformation, or suckers? If so, bring them to the workshop for some expert guidance on how to repot them and get them growing correctly. Similarly, if you have a pot of baby plantlets but need guidance on how to plant them up, bring them as well.
Participants will receive a small surprise!
If you are interested in attending the workshop please email oavsociety@oavs.org for more details. Registrations will be handled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
