African violets can be grown from; seeds, by putting down a leaf along with 1/2 inch of stem, or by re-rooting the whole crown (center area where the new leaves grow from) cut off main stem at soil line, remove enough leaves (pop stem and leaf off at the main stem) so there are three rows of leaves remaining. Now, you will want to keep a length of about three to four inches to plant in the soil, with a knife scrape the main stem of the crown and press it into the soil up to the bottom row of leaves. New roots will grow in about four weeks. Water, place pot and crown into a zip lock bag until well rooted about 2 months.
