Detailed explanation-1: -You’ll get fewer new African violets from cuttings than from seed, but cuttings have a few advantages. Cutting produces a new plant that is a clone of the mother plant, so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting before you begin.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is relatively easy to propagate African violets vegetatively by rooting cuttings; a leaf with an intact petiole, or leaf stem, can develop roots if properly placed in a rooting medium. African violet leaf cuttings can successfully produce roots in water or soil.
Detailed explanation-3: -Choose a Leaf. Look for a leaf that is healthy and fresh, but has been established on the plant. Cut Leaf Petiole. Trim the petiole (the stem) to about ½ to 1 inch in length for best results. Plant your Cutting. Give it Sunshine. Plantlets Sprout. 29-Nov-2017
