Plant Care & Growing Tips

To ensure your African Violet live plant thrives and produces abundant blooms, understanding its specific care requirements is essential. African Violets prefer bright, indirect light. A north or east-facing window is often ideal, providing sufficient light without the harshness of direct sun, which can scorch their delicate leaves. If natural light is limited, a grow light can be used, ensuring the plant receives 10-12 hours of light daily. Rotate your plant regularly to encourage even growth and flowering.

When it comes to watering, consistency is key. Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Wait until the top inch of soil feels dry before watering again. The best method is bottom watering: place the pot in a saucer of water for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the plant to soak up water from the drainage holes. Avoid getting water on the leaves, as this can cause unsightly spots. Use room-temperature water. African Violets prefer a well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for them, which typically includes peat moss, vermiculite, and perlite. Maintain consistent room temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and provide high humidity (around 50-60%), which can be achieved with a pebble tray or humidifier. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Monitoring for common pests like mealybugs and powdery mildew, and addressing them promptly, will help maintain the health of your easy care indoor plant.
