Baby's first African Violet!! 💜💜💜💜 I've never seen a variegated one before, so when I saw this in the grocery store, I had to get it. Finally just repotted it into its permanent hone - it's a special pot designed for African Violets. There are 2 pots, the round one homds water, and the wavy one holds the flower. The wavy one is unglazed on the inside, so it will wick moisture into the soul without water ever touching the hydro-phobic plant. ((How do they ever grow in the wild if water on their leaves kills them?!?!?! I'm too scared to test it out on my first baby.)) 🌱🌱🌱🌱 The soil is leftover monstera mix I made, and then some good water control Miracle-gro soil. I left the root ball mostly in place - usually I tear up all the old soil, but I'm trying to be so careful with this. I always remember being told as a kid that these will die if you touch them (same with orchids - it was actually just my family trying to keep my kid-hands off the plants lol! Turns out orchids are super hardy to the touch, and these can handle a touch as well.) The leaves are sooo fuzzy! 🌸🌸🌸🌸

“Flowers don’t worry about how they’re going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful.” – @Jim Carrey Day 66 - Sharing plant beauty, the sort of nature that always brings a smile to my face and inner peace. How do plants make you feel? Anyone else out there feel touched deeply by the beauty of life and nature when you ponder and look at growing plants? 🍃🌸✨🍃🌸✨🍃🌸✨🍃🌸 #100dayproject #happyplantlady #crazyplantlady #flowersbringjoy #africanviolet (at South Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNWDQmVBPSW/?igshid=y6ienmvbddgo
