Rob's Outer Orbit

Average Rating 4.5 out of 5

Amazing foliage... but no blooms

This plant has beautiful variegation, and the form is great as well... But no blooms. I have had it for the better part of a year, tried different light... etc, but no blooms.

Breathtaking

I've had this plant for a couple of years and it's one variety that stands out in my collection. I first saw it at an AVSA convention and knew I had to have one. The flowers are stable, don't revert to solid blue like some other fantasies and the foliage variegation is also stable and doesn't disappear in warmer weather. Basically I love the plant!

A Stunning African Violet!

My Rob's Outer Orbit African Violet arrived in bloom, with flowers almost identical to the ones in the photo with this listing. What makes this plant even more special is the pink edging on the variegated leaves. This plant really stands out and is one of my favorites.

Shy Bloomer, but totally worth it!

Very striking blooms, excellent variegate even in warm temps. I grew several from a leaf cutting and all but one bloomed true.

Update on previous review - "Beautiful plant but a bit challenging"

Update - After removing all the roots and the droopy flowers and securing a plastic bag around this little guy's pot to increase the humidity (I also kept it under a cheap growth light for 12h per day) for a little over a month, it has grown some new roots (at least enough to anchor it in its pot) and it even has some tiny developing flower buds! I didn't even have to use any rooting hormone, just kept the soil moist with diluted AV fertilizer. Hoping I can keep the plant healthy for a long time to come!
