Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your African Violet live plant is straightforward, ensuring it will flourish and provide continuous blooms with just a few key considerations. African Violets thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch their delicate leaves. An east-facing window is often ideal, providing gentle morning sun, or a north-facing window for consistent, soft light. If natural light is limited, artificial grow lights can be a great supplement to encourage robust growth and abundant flowering for your flowering houseplant.

When it comes to watering, consistency is key. Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Water your African Violet from the bottom by placing the pot in a saucer of water for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the plant to absorb water through its drainage holes. Alternatively, water from the top, being careful not to get water on the leaves, as this can lead to unsightly spots or fungal issues. Always use room-temperature water. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. A well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for African Violets or a general peat-based mix with added perlite works best. Maintain moderate humidity around your plant, especially if you have a light blue African Violet variety, which can be sensitive to dry air. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the active growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength, formulated for African Violets.

This easy care indoor plant prefers consistent temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and should be protected from cold drafts. Regularly remove any spent flowers or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth and maintain the plant’s aesthetic appeal. With these simple tips, your African Violet will continue to produce its beautiful light blue African Violet blooms for many seasons to come, making it a truly rewarding addition to your home.
