African Violets are known for their ability to flower at almost any time of the year. If the plants basic needs are met - steady warmth, careful watering, good light, high air humidity and regular feeding - there should be several blooming periods a year. Dead flowers and damaged leaves should be removed from the plant immediately. Water on the leaves and flowers can cause spots and cold water can cause dead spots in the plant, so water carefully with tepid water. Water either right under the rosette of leaves with a narrow neck water can or pour water into a saucer underneath the pot and allow the roots to absorb what they need.
African Violets prefer bright, indirect light. Keep soil moderately moist. Water when the surface is dry to the touch. High humidity is essential. Place plants on pebble trays. African Violets like warm temperatures of 70 to 75 degrees during the day and 65 to 70 degrees at night.
Available colors include; white, pink, red, purple, yellow and bicolors.
