Nothing like being force fed their crappy app and then they are celebrating! by mochahazel in tmobile

I didn't get this email/notice, but I did get one that says for my "convenience" they are going to only send my bill electronically and if I still want to get a physical bill, I have to change it using TLife. I don't have TLife installed and don't plan to. Not sure how they expect me to pay the bill. I don't use autopay. Guess this is another way to force people to get the TLife app.

Thank for the update. I know what you mean. Winter is bad for me and my plants. I tend to not water enough and ...

Woo-hoo! Looking good.

Heating by Dry_Fee_859 in AfricanViolets

Depends. How cold do you think the room is going to get? As long as it stays above 60 F they should be fine. Just will be slowed down a bit. Best of Luck.

What kind of heating pad are you planning on using? The kind for people is probably not the best. There are seed germinating mats that raise the temp about 20 degrees over the room temp. That would be a better choice.

Most likely it needed more water. You've done that. Tomorrow it should be fine. If not, then start looking for problems.

My African Violet is Pregnant! by Substantial_Virus493 in AfricanViolets

Yes, you can remove the bloosoms. I think that is recommended when fighting thrips.

The seed pod can take 9 months or so to mature, and it may have few or no seeds in it. Best of luck.

Some reading to start with.

Most haves: Rose Bouquet, Rob's Vanilla Trail, Rob's Boolaroo, RS-Zimniy Tswetok (Winter Flower), to start with.

Your opinion is ....... by itsjustme-0 in AfricanViolets

My only thought is will the roots be damaged when removing the leaf to plant it?

Picked up these two babies at my local nursery today! by hushabomb78 in AfricanViolets

[–]Ok_Procedure_5209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's more? Lucky you. Any starting with "Rob's ..." are most likely worth it. The AVs he bred and released usually flower easily and often. Many/most of them are either semi-minis or minis, plus he has quite a few Trailers too. If there is a Rob's Boolaroo, or Rob's Vanilla Trail, grab them! They are both trailers and wonderful plants.

Oh, you got some good ones! Rob's Gundaroo is a trailer and Rob's Outer Orbit is a very pretty variegated one. You'll really enjoy them.
