I need 1,000 'Pip Squeek's

'Pip Squeek' - Micro-mini Violet

I need 1,000 ‘Pip Squeek’s

 

            Since we’ve discovered that the micro-mini African Violet – ‘Pip Squeek’ is a solid plant, what to do?

 

            How do you get 1,000 ‘Pip Squeek’s fast?

 

            They propagate from a leaf, just like the big violets.  Will we get 1 or 2 plantlets per leaf or zero?  The leaves are small and there may be losses.

 

            So, if we get 100 plants from 100 leaves, grow for 4 months to get 500 leaves to make 500 plants, then grow for 4 months to get 2500 leaves, etc., etc.

 

            In less than one year, I could have 2500 plants to sell.

 

            Life’s rule: “Everything takes twice as long and costs twice as much”

 

            Watch for ‘Pip Squeek’ sold in flower next Valentine’s Day.
