It's Mhine4ever!

Variegated African Violets are beautiful houseplants that have been part of my life since 2020. For the past five years, they’ve brought me so much joy—not only by brightening my home but also by helping me cope with stress. They’re more than just plants; they’ve become part of my daily routine, and to my surprise, they’ve even opened up small earning opportunities along the way.

One of the varieties in my collection is Le Zhana. For a long time, I didn’t notice any suckers (baby plants that grow from the base of the main plant) forming on it. But recently, I spotted tiny leaves growing in all directions, and the plant temporarily stopped blooming. After observing it for three to five months, I realized those little leaves were actually suckers, slowly crowding the mother plant and affecting its shape and growth.

In the video I uploaded to YouTube, I showed how I carefully removed the suckers to help the mother plant recover and thrive again. This process not only gives the main plant room to grow and bloom, but it also gives us the chance to propagate new plants from those suckers.

Instead of throwing the suckers away, it’s best to pot them in their own containers. Keep in mind though, propagation doesn’t always guarantee success. Some suckers may not survive despite our efforts—but with proper care and a bit of patience, others will grow into beautiful, healthy plants.

This time, I managed to separate five suckers and three detached leaves from the mother plant. I’ve already planted them in new pots, and now I’m excited to wait and see which ones will thrive in the coming days and months.
