african violet

Question

My African violets have grown quite tall (long?). The stem is too long and not attractive. If I cut it off to be shorter, will it root again?

Answer 1

This can happen with older African Violets just due to their age. They also can get leggy if they are 'reaching' for the light. Rotating the plant can help maintain a more upright growth pattern.

Propagation is quite easy. Leaf cuttings can be easily potted to start new plants.
