African Violets

Irina, Thanks

12 years ago

Hello Irina. Remember the little Episcia I won on Ebay? The entire top snapped off.

You told me to place in a fish bowl/tank, etc..I followed your advise.

Wouldn't you know it? The Episcia 'choc soldier' is doing great..Several new leaves w/color.

It won't win any prizes, yet, lol, j/k, but sure doesn't look like it did before you helped.

Thanks much. hugs, Toni

PS: I'm ready to take on Cleopatria..lol..NOT

Toni - you are welcome - and I think your Episcia feels right at home in high humidity.

You can keep them all in a fish tank - the problem is they grow and tangle together very fast in such conditions.
