African violet leaves are good for growing more violets. Cut a leaf along with one inch of stem, poke the stem down into the soil. Within four weeks you will notice the leaf has grown roots because the leaf will stand up straighter. In six weeks you will notice small plantlets starting to emerge.
These are not related to the African violet family, they are in the lily family.
No, direct sunshine on your African violet will cause the leaves to have burned spots on them. This should be avoided. Place violets in good bright indirect light such as a North window or artificial lighting such as flourescrnt bulbs.
If you mean a white substance covering the leaves it's most likely powdery mildew. This can develop due to a lack of air circulation. Put a fan somewhere near the violets to help circulate the air. You could also change the violet's location if possible to improve its environment. To kill the powdery mildew already on the leaves you can spray a light mist of Lysol onto the leaves. This won't hurt the plant but it will damage any flowers currently open on the violet. You can also wash the leaves carefully in warm water to remove the powdery mildew.
