| Here is a picture of one of my areas. A cheap metal shelf from Home Depot and cheap Wal-Mart lights. I have a few dozen in my collection, but I do have duplicates too. I have included a link to my Photobucket plant propagation album, hope the link works. |

| This is one of my stands near the dinette window. This stand I bought from Home Depot last year for around $20. BV |
|
| One more pic, the shelves are adjustable which works great for me. |

| Here's my plant stand. I have shelves in the window of this room as well. You can barely see them, but there are 4 plastic covered trays full of leaves and baby plants on the floor underneath the bottom shelf of the plant stand. They seem to be getting enough light around and through the plants on that shelf, so why not? |
|
| Wow!! Thank uannececilia, minia and perlite. Soo many of them are blooming! :) terrific sharing! Thank you guys! Joy of growing is to enjoy the bloom and showing them to encourage all.:) thank u all once again:) |
|
| Thanks Perle and aiharang! |

| Hello all. I'm a guy who started this hobby in November with a leaf order from ebay. Here is where I'm at now. I bought the stand at Target for under $60. It is 72" high by 48" wide by 18" deep. It was a 4 shelf unit but I assembled it with only 3 shelves since I will be wicking and need the height. I have 46 plants now (21 varieties) but I will have to pare down to 30 or so by the time they are full grown. It's an austere looking stand but it works for me. |

| Zalper, it looks a lot like mine and congratulations on doing so well with your leaf order. I look forward to hearing more about your progress. |

| HI, all I can say is...WOW!!!! I love all the plants and so many flowers.... I have mini violets...in a terrarium...with 3 regular size violets on top..the terrarium sits in my living room, across from a south window with a sheer curtain... heres a picture of the mini.... |
|
| Hi rstrobel! Wow I love your variegated violet.:) It's amazing! Thank u for sharing. Hope more will share their pic to share the joy of their growing for us to appreciate each others growing! Ben |
|
| I don't have as many violets as everyone else who posted but here's a picture of my three (although the bigger baby might have as many as three centers on it! can't wait to find out!) Also, the mature violet is not variegated - it is recovering from leaf tip burn and I want to wait until the new leaves are bigger before I start cutting off the damaged leaves. |
|
| Thank you sarahrg! Thanks for sharing:) hope they bloom nicely for u. For the multi-crown u may want to spilt them and place them In a much smaller pot. It's way too big. U can use plastic disposal cups if u don't want to buy pots. Can consider wick watering too :). Ben |
