African violets are propogated by leaf cuttings.

Plants that reproduce by leaves are BEGONIA, BRYPHYLLUM and other more.
Bryophyllum propagates from leaf cuttings. Small buds develop at the grooves of leaf margins. Each of these buds are capable of growing into separate plant.
African violets reproduce by seed, planting a leaf with one inch of the stem intact, and leaf culture.
Pull of a leaf from an adult plant and put it on good soil.
Some plants can be grown from cutting a part of another plant and placing it in soil or water. Some plants however, cannot easily grow from plant cuttings, but some plants can easily grow from leaf, twig, or branch cuttings, such as the African violet.
Yes. Most Begonias can be propogated by leaf cuttings.
Yes, the violets are small, vary from light to dark violet and have a light scent. Very pretty, sweet little flowers.Another answerThere are many different types of African violets out there today, the above answer is referring to the wild violets or sometimes called "sweet violets" which grow outside. These violets are indoor house plant African violets. There are many hybridizer's who grow gorgeous varieties, for instance; variegated leaf types with every color you can imagine, almost. There are blooms with a frilly edge, cup or bell shape type of blossom. They have large, small yellow blossoms also. Even, pinwheel blossoms. Here is a great web site. It's "The African Violet Society of America" also internationally known. Please view the related source link below for gorgeous pictures and great information.
Some plants can be grown from leaves (leaf cuttings) including: Begonia and Saintpaulina. Most propagation is however done from either seeds (sexual propagation) or cuttings (asexual propagation).
No, African violets thrive better indoors because of possibilities of insect infestation and they are sensitive to extreme weather changes. There are some outdoors violets but these are not African violets. They produce small purple blossoms, these are wild violets.
Mostly stem cuttings are used for plant propagation. In certain cases like Bryophyllum even leaf cuttings are used for this purpose.
