| "Standard" sized varieties typically grow 10-12" in diameter when grown as houseplants, and will grow comfortably in a 4" pot when mature. When grown for exhibition, well-grown specimens can reach a diameter of 18" to 24", with leaves as large as one's hand. Keep in mind that these are show plants, given special care (most importantly, disbudding). Grown as a houseplant, they will not grow nearly so large--you need keep only 4-5 rows of leaves to keep your plant attractive and blooming Our "Ma's" series of standard hybrids have the same qualities as our miniatures, namely ease of growth and blooming, and unusually colored blooms and/or foliage. All are suitable for growing either as a "houseplant" grown in a window or for exhibition. LOOK AT PAGE BELOW FOR A LISTING OF OUR STANDARD AFRICAN VIOLETS!
