Five doing well (one not so well) from my spring trim of my mini double african violet, each from one leaf.

I'm afraid I'm going to overrun myself with violets. I just can't throw away good plant parts...lol. And these aren't hard to start up. Good christmas gift! :-)

Well, you've done really well here, I can't seem to keep these, I have one on my kitchen windowsill, looks really healthy, but no flowers, we have gas fuel here and I've heard they don't like it.

Hmmm. Some gases do replicate hormones stopping blooming. I let it get a somewhat dryer spell about a month and they bloom after that every time.

Try watering with a bit of epsom salts dissolved in it - that is supposed to stimulate flowering.
