Do you have other houseplants, too, or just African violets? My mother loved the violets, and I do, too. I think I ran out of space after I was inundated with Christmas cacti gifts!
I went hunting for some AVs today, but came up empty.
Aw, that’s too bad! Did you try grocery stores? Sometimes ones that have a floral department will have them. (My Kroger’s floral department does not though.)
I have lots of other houseplants. I’ve always had lots of them or less of them at different times. Except in 2013 I was sick of watering them, so I gave all I had left at that point (not too many because they don’t tend to survive if you stop watering them
) to one of my daughters. So from 2013 to 2021 I had no houseplants at all.
In 2021 two things happened. My husband said he wanted a low light tolerant plant for our darkish north facing living room. That’s his room to decorate and he decided a large floor plant was what he wanted in there. And my same daughter was visiting on Mother’s Day and she wanted to go to a nearby plant shop.
I came home that day with one tiny 2” plant, mainly because that store was super expensive. But that opened the floodgates and I spent the rest of that year on the hunt for plants and pots to put them in. My purchases included African violets, but it wasn’t until a year or so later that I found out you can buy them on line! That is so much fun!
Then I discovered streptocarpus and other gesneriads. I have really bad luck with streps. My last ones died off over the summer.
I will have to take some pictures of the houseplants tomorrow in the daylight. It’s supposed to be sunny, so they should turn out pretty good.
