Saintpaulia (African Violets) can be grown from leaf cuttings simply by retaining about 5cm or so of stem on each one.
Leaf cuttings can be taken during summer through to early autumn.
The young plants should be potted on when they become too large for the original pots. WHAT ABOUT SEED?
Saintpaulias can also be grown from seeds.
OTHER METHODS
African Violets are also sometimes propagated by dividing clumps (crown division); however this technique is a slow way of multiplying your plants.
