African Violet Sale!
Over 100 varieties of semi miniature, miniature, trailer, wasp, variegated, and senk varieties. Fall Special! I have way too many babies to pot and no room so I'm doing a special.
Leaves 5 varieties 2 leaves each $5.00
I have over 75 varieties of Episcias!
Please contact me at dreaminofthetropics@yahoo.com and put violets/episcia purchase in the title.
Interested in becoming a dealer of the J&J SWIFT MOIST-RITE Planter. We do not have a catalog as the planter
is our only product. It is a vacuum controlled flower pot, not a wick, and is excellent for African violets.
It is made of high impact polystyrene.
For more information - jaswift@earthlink.net
These patented self watering planters take the quesswork out of watering
your plants. Your plants get just the right amount of water every time
with our revolutionary technology. If interested in becoming a dealer
please email violets@alaska.com for information.
They are cut where you can bring the corners up and attach them together with velcro so you have a 3" tall
edge all the way around. Then I open a stack of newspaper and have room around the edge for a bin for
potting mix and my tools, pots etc... I sit a trash can under the edge in front of my chair. Of course
I set this all up in front of the TV and a TV tray on a side will hold a flat for plants. When I repot a
violet I wad up the paper toss it in the trash in front of me. I then use a squirt of antibacterial soap
on my hands, the kind that doesn't require water and I keep a small spray bottle of alcohol for my tools.
Pot another, when finished pick all my utensils and stuff up and open one corner of the mat so the debris falls
into the trash can and use a bleach solution or soap and water to wash it off. It is waterproof but not
washable in a machine, when dry you can fold it into a 10" square.
