I was gifted a sprouting mother leaf of an African violet from a dear friend. Turns out that the mother leaf sprouted six new plants. When they had grown for awhile, I separated them out into individual temporary pots, but was unsure where to go next. When cleaning up the back porch I found six little pots that I loved, but didn’t have a use for, so they were sitting outside. Huzzah! I cleaned them up and bought liners so I could bottom water the violets.

The liners didn’t go all the way to the bottom of the pots, so I found some watering wicking rope to help keep the water from pooling on the bottom.

Then I repotted all the plants into their new homes.

When it comes time to water, I’ll lift out the liner and put water in the bottom of the pot. The technique has been working well for my snake plant!
