PAN POTS - These white plastic
pots are very shallow: approximately one-half as deep as
they are wide at the mouth. They have bottom drainage
holes. Many violet fanciers who grow competitively for
shows swear by these Pan Pots. They claim more prolific
bloom and plant vigor due to the pot shape. Recommended
in Violet Magazine articles. Great for standards and trailers,
and for the violet cousins.

WICKING TRAYS
All trays are waterproof plastic
designed to hold the waterfertilizer solution. Each tray size
comes with a white plastic grid
which is used to suspend the
plants over the solution used for
wicking. The wicks are simply
inserted through the grid into the
solution. Wick watering greatly
increases humidity in the
immediate vicinity of your violets.

Clear plastic domes are available to fit most of the trays shown above. See pp. 11+ 12.
WE DO CUSTOM CUT GRID to fit trays you already have. Tell us how many grids you need and the inside tray dimensions
and we will send you a cost and shipping estimate. If you decide you want to have us cut grid to fit your trays, send us one of your
trays (which we will return to you with your order). We need your tray to assure a good fit. Also, be sure to tell us whether
you plan to use the tray and grid with or without capillary matting since the grids must be cut a little bit shorter when used with
capillary matting draped over them.
MORE WICKING AND SELF-WATERING IDEAS
DELI STYLE WICKING RESERVOIRS: Round, tough, clear plastic containers with heavy gauge,
translucent snap-on plastic lids. These hold 16 fl. oz. and are 4.5"
in diameter, and 3" tall. The plant with wick sits on the lid with the
wick extending through to the water in the reservoir below through
the hole you cut. Easy to see the water level. Very handy for
setting your plants with wicks around the house. An inexpensive
way to wick water a lot of plants. The lid prevents rapid evaporation
of water in the reservoir. Scissors will easily cut holes in the lids as
necessary to match up with the drainage holes in your pots.

FLUTED CERAMIC VIOLET POTS
Make a violet into a centerpiece. These
fluted pots are handmade and work in two different ways. #213 can be used to conceal and
suspend a violet growing in a plastic pot over the water fertilizer solution below. A wick
hangs through a hole in the insert pot. Both parts of #213 are fully glazed inside and out.
You can also pot a violet directly into the insert pot, but a wick will still be needed to draw
water up into the soil. #214 is made as a soak through pot. The inner pot is unglazed and
water soaks through the bisque (unglazed clay) into the soil of the plant. You must plant
directly into #214. Both sizes are for standard sized violets or larger.
MEDIUM FLUTED VIOLET
POT: accepts 3", and 4" pots.
The section that holds the plant
measures 3 3/4" wide by
2 1/4" deep (not including the
ruffled edges). This is a wick
pot.
Item #213 Medium Fluted Violet Pot $21.29, 1 lb. 4 oz.
LARGE FLUTED VIOLET POT - The section
that holds the plant measures 4 3/4" by 3" deep
(not including the ruffled edges.) This is a soak
pot.

shipping weight 2 lb. 8 oz.
BE SURE TO TELL US WHAT COLOR YOU
WANT! The color choices for both sizes of the
above fluted pots are: white, light blue, light
pink, and lavender. They sell well in the shop.
An elegant way to wick water.

Medium Sized Fluted Violet Pot with Decals.
The outer surface is glazed in white beautifully
decorated with small floral decals around the
lower half of the outer pot. Decals will vary
slightly from pot to pot depending upon
availability. This pot is made from the same mold
as #213 Medium fluted Violet Pot (above). It
works in just the same way as the Large Fluted
Violet Pot. The insert is unglazed allowing water
to soak through to the violet planted in it.
Item #213C Medium Fluted Violet Pot Decals $23.49 ea., 20 oz.

Miniature ceramic planter with decals . This little
fluted, soak thru style pot is great for miniature violets.
The insert pot has an unglazed bottom half and
reaches to within a fraction of an inch of the bottom of
the outer pot. The outer pot is completely glazed inside
and out and is beautifully decorated with small floral
decals around its lower half. The water in the outer
pot will slowly seep through the base of the unglazed
inner pot into the soil. Upper pot is 3 1/2" across the
mouth including the ruffles and is 1.5" deep. The
mouth of the pot at soil level is 2 1/2" across. White

upon availability. (photo not to scale). There are small
fill holes on either upper surface of the outer pot.

Fluted Soak Thru Violet Pot - These lovely pots have wide fluted rims which do a wonderful
job of supporting the violet's outer leaves. The insert pot sets down into the outer pot and
is unglazed where it contacts the water. This
allows the water to slowly seep through to the
soil and the plant. The small size has a pot
opening is 3" making it suitable for semiminiatures or small standard sized violets. The
outer edge of the fluted rim measures 5.5". The
outer pot is 5.25" in diameter. The two parts
together measure 4" tall. The medium size has
a pot opening of 4" and is 6.5" across the fluted rim. It measures 4 7/8" tall overall. Both
sizes are available in white, pink, lavender, and light blue.

Snail
Pot,
Turtle Pot
and Frog Pot
These
additions to
our ceramic
line are all
cleverly made
to water and
to show off
your plants.
The bodies
are waterproof being fully glazed inside and out. The flower pots insert into the animals'
backs and have unglazed lower sections which allow water to slowly soak through to dampen
the soil. This gently waters your plant. The insert pot is the same size for all three. At soil
level the insert pot measures 3" across and is 2.5" deep making these best suited small
standard violets. We recommend letting the soil dry out between refills. Hand painted
details give these two a very whimsical look. The frog is 7" long; the turtle and the snail are
each 9" long.

OYAMA PLANTERS - These are plastic two piece self-watering pots made
especially for African Violets. They are approved for AVSA Society shows. They are
also great for other gesneriads, house plants, AND orchids! Made of heavy duty, high
quality, leak proof, durable plastic. All sizes except the 3 1/2" have a textured finish.
Very
little
watering skill
required.
Shows
you
when and how
much to water.
The pot does
the watering. The inner pot sets down in the outer pot, which acts as a built in saucer.
Put a layer of perlite at the bottom of the inner pot and pot the plant in a loose soil mix
with at least 50% perlite - vermiculite. The perlite slowly pulls the water up to the plant
while providing excellent aeration to prevent root rot problems. No Wick! The roots
more easily absorb moisture, nutrients and oxygen this way than they can in soil alone.
Produces healthy, flourishing plants. Planting instructions included. Five sizes: 2 1/2",
3 1/2", 4" and 5" and 5 1/2".
Soil Line
All sizes WHITE ONLY.
The 2 1/2", 3 1/2", and 4"
sizes are excellent for violets;
The 2.5" size is usually used Air Circulation
for miniatures or for starter
plants of standards. The 5"
and 5.5" sizes are great for
large growing violets and
other gesneriads and for Moth

Premium SPHAGNUM MOSS for Oyama Planters Yes, orchids in self-watering
pots! You still put the layer of perlite on the bottom of the inner pot, but then you pot the
orchid in sphagnum moss (this is not peat moss) following the established rules of potting
orchids, such as trimming roots, potting off center to
allow room for new growth, and not setting the
rhizomes too deeply. This moss is “crunchy” in texture
and reminds us of working with stringy wood shavings.
Allows excellent aeration to the roots. Moisten the
moss with hot water before potting with it.
Recommended especially for moth orchids and lady
slipper orchids. The bag holds approximately 1.5
gallons.
Premium sphagnum moss

FOR ROOTING AND STARTING....
PROPAGATING TRAY - This light weight charcoal gray plastic tray is 10 x 20" and 2 3/4" high. The
tray and dome together are 4 7/8" high. Inside fits 36 individual cell-like 2" x 2.25" rectangular charcoal
gray plastic pots that are ideal for
seedlings, cuttings, newly separated
babies, or suckers. You can easily
lift out the cells and use your own
pots if you prefer. The secret of
success is the sturdy clear plastic
dome that fits on top of the tray holding in the humidity. Cuttings and
young plants develop vigorously and
quickly. Also excellent for starting
seeds for outdoor gardens. Harden off the plants by sliding the dome partially off until all condensation
has evaporated. Very popular in the shop. See page 11 for a new taller dome that also fits this tray.

10 x 20” tray Item #158A (with or

21 1/4 by 11 by 7” tall. When placed

up to 9” tall inside. There is a vent
opening on the top and one on each
end. You can control how open or
closed the vents are by rotating the
covers positioned over the vent
holes. Great for rooting or for use
as a terrarium. This dome does not
perfectly fit our 11 x 22” tray. (Item #155A)
However, a 10 x 20” tray with dome atop
does fit nicely down into an 11 x 22” tray if you have removed the grid. This allows you to use the tray and dome on a plant stand
with multiple 11 x 22” trays. Depending upon what other items you order the Tall Dome may need to be a separate ship item.
We sell the dome by itself or with a tray.

FERTILIZERS
Seaweed Extract - Liquefied Organic Kelp
The label directions describe
multiple uses for this natural product including on vegetables, fruit trees,
strawberries, shrubs and lawns as a foliar feed and/or soil drench. Violet
enthusiasts, however, will find Seaweed Extract most useful for starting leaf
cuttings. Mix 1 Tablespoon of this brown liquid into 1 gallon of water and add 5
drops of Superthrive (see p. 13) to make a solution with which we have great
results in starting leaf cuttings. Soak the cuttings in this solution overnight, then
make a fresh cut in the leaf stem and pot the cutting in your rooting mix. Use the
solution to moisten the soil mix as necessary. The solution can also be used as
a weekly foliar spray. Continue this regime until the leaf cutting clumps are large
enough to divide. This organic product has very little odor. It comes in a 1 pint
plastic bottle.

DYNA-GRO FERTILIZERS
Plants grown
with Dyna-Gro Liquid Fertilizer can grow and mature
more rapidly. Plants are like miniature chemical mining
and manufacturing companies. They mine the
minerals with their roots and build the organic
compounds of life with their leaves. Building these
organic compounds requires trace mineral catalysts
which Dyna-Gro provides. Dyna-Gro Liquid Nutrient
is a state of the art fertilizer which contains Nitrogen,
Phosphorus, and Potassium plus up to 11 trace
minerals. No other liquid fertilizer has as complete a
formulation. It can be watered into the potting mix or used as a foliar feed. Dyna-Gro was
originally developed for use in hydroponics, and can be used for soil based, soilless, wicking, or
hydroponic growing. Since Dyna-Gro is a liquid fertilizer it mixes freely with water, requiring
little or no stirring. Safe to use at every watering. Mix at a rate of 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per gallon
of water. We do not recommend using Dyna-Gro fertilizers in the Soak Thru type ceramic pots
or in Swift's "Moist Rite" Planters.
DYNA-GRO GROW 7 - 9 - 5 A general purpose formula with 11 trace minerals used on house
plants such as violets and their relatives, and on orchids, and vegetables. Great as a foliar feed

CAPILLARY MATTING
We offer Texel brand of CAPILLARY MATTING. IT
COMES FROM ROLLS THAT ARE 4 FEET WIDE,
AND IS SOLD BY THE RUNNING FOOT. All of our
light gardens are equipped with matting. Pour water/
fertilizer onto the mat until it is glistening wet. The
plants absorb water through the pot drainage holes.
When the mat is dry to the touch leave it dry for three
days so that the soil can dry out a bit, then re-wet it.
Matting is easily cut to size with scissors and is hand
or machine washable (machine wash on gentle cycle
only). DO NOT MACHINE DRY! The Texel mat holds up very well after repeated washing. We
find we need to wash it every 3 - 4 months. The mat is gray in color and made of all synthetic
fibers . One side is slightly more "fluffy" than the other. This "fluffier" side should face upward.
We have been using matting since the mid Seventies. Instructions are included.

Red Lava Sand - recent articles in the African Violet
Magazine refer to this soil additive as a means to enhance
the performance of African violets. The most common report
from growers using this product is an improvement in the
strength of color in "yellow" blossomed varieties. Red lava
sand is made from ground up lava rock and is rusty red in
color. Growers mix a small amount of this sand into their
potting mix. The cause of improvement may be the iron
content, the trace elements, or other properties of the sand.
This is open for debate, but many experienced growers are
reporting positive results which they attribute to Red Lava Sand. Mix 2 heaping teaspoons
in 1 cup of your soil (or a heaping 3/4 cup per gallon of soil). See what results you get!

Item #355A Red Lava Sand 4 lb. $7.29, shipping weight: 64 oz.
DIATOMACEOUS EARTH - This natural pesticide looks
and feels like talcum powder. It is safe to use around
humans and pets, but it really takes care of pests in
the soil. Seen under a microscope Diatomaceous Earth
(D. E.) has sharp edges. As insects crawl through the
soil they rub against the D. E. scraping off some of
their waxy coating. This will kill them. Especially
effective against fungus gnat and spring tail larvae,
and against soil mealy bugs. Thoroughly mix 8 oz. of
D. E. into 4 gallons of your potting soil, (or 2 oz. in 1 gallon) then pot your plants. Use
more if you wish. Has worked very well for us. Your soil must dry out regularly for D.E. to
work. A great, safe organic pesticide. Pronounced die-a-tom-A-shus

Item #511A 3 lb. $6.99, ship. weight 3 lbs.

We look forward to serving you. The Violet Showcase has been
growing, showing, and selling violets and offering related supplies
for sale since 1969. We use these same products.
Neem Oil - This is the latest in natural, organic insecticides. Made from extracts of
neem oil which comes from a tropical evergreen tree. This product disrupts an insect’s
ability to feed and molt thus eventually killing it. It is also
naturally repellent to insects. They will avoid a plant that has
been sprayed. Reportedly very effective against that scourge
of the violet world - BLOSSOM THRIPS. Mix with warm water
and spray on. Does not harm the plants or blossoms any
more than plain water would. Effective against a broad
assortment of insect pests. For violets mix 1/2 teaspoon
Neem per 16 oz. of warm water. Use the mixture within 8
hours. Do not store for later use. Most effective when
applied 2 or 3 times at 7 to 10 day intervals.
This is not an instant kill product.

STIKY STRIP DISPOSABLE INSECT TRAPS - Many harmful
insects are attracted to yellow. This fact is put to work with these
clever 3" x 5" bright yellow, very sticky cards which contain no
poisons or harmful chemicals. Attracted insects just
get stuck on them. They trap aphids, whiteflies, fungus
gnats, thrips, fruit flies, and others. While they are not

compound that will withstand repeated wetting and
drying and exposure to sunlight. Useful indoors among

PH SOIL TESTER - Violets and their cousins
generally perform best in soil with a PH level
between 6.5 and 7. As the organic material
in soil slowly decomposes with the passage
of time the PH level becomes more acidic.
The lower the PH reading the more acid the
soil, the higher the reading the more alkaline
the soil. This PH tester will give accurate reading in approx. 5
minutes. Detailed instructions on back of package. Minimal
preparation to take PH reading. Excellent for those mixing their
own soil.

Use the first three digits of your zip code and the chart above to determine your UPS
shipping zone in relation to our shop. For example, for zip code 02184 you would use UPS
Ground Zone 7 since the first three digits of 02184 fall between 010 – 043 on the chart above.
Next, take the total weight of your order in pounds from your order blank (See p. 27) and use the
UPS Rate Chart on p. 26 to see the amount UPS will charge to send a package of that weight to
you. If your zip code has the designation "not available" next to it then UPS Ground Service is
not possible to your area and we will mail your order to you. Most areas of the country are served
by UPS Ground Service therefore, we do not include a zone or rate chart for postal shipments.
The cost is quite similar. UPS includes insurance up to $100 value in their rates on p. 26.
Insurance is additional on shipments sent with the US Postal Service.
