Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper African Violet care is straightforward, ensuring your plant thrives and produces abundant blooms. Place your African Violet live plant in a location that receives bright, indirect light. An east-facing window is often ideal, providing gentle morning sun. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the harsher afternoon hours, as this can scorch the leaves and damage the delicate flowers. If natural light is limited, artificial grow lights can provide an excellent supplement, allowing your indoor flowering plant to flourish even in darker rooms.

Maintaining consistent soil moisture is crucial for African Violets. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry to the touch. It’s best to water from the bottom by placing the pot in a saucer of water for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the plant to absorb moisture through its drainage holes. Alternatively, water from the top, being careful not to get water on the leaves, as this can lead to spotting. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, which is a common issue from overwatering. Use a well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for African Violets or a general indoor potting mix amended with perlite for extra aeration. During the active growing and blooming seasons, feed your novelty African Violet with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks. Reduce feeding during winter months when growth slows.

African Violets prefer consistent temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and moderate to high humidity. Avoid sudden temperature fluctuations or cold drafts. If your home is particularly dry, consider placing the pot on a pebble tray filled with water (making sure the pot doesn’t sit directly in the water) or using a room humidifier. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. With these simple African Violet care practices, your easy care houseplant will reward you with continuous, vibrant flowers throughout the year, making it a true centerpiece of your indoor garden.
