Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your African Violet live plant is straightforward, ensuring you enjoy its beautiful blooms for a long time. These plants prefer consistent conditions to thrive. For optimal growth and flowering, place your African Violet in an area that receives bright, indirect light. An east-facing window is often ideal, providing gentle morning sun. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade the vibrant blue flowers. Rotating the plant regularly will ensure even growth and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.

When it comes to watering, consistency is key. Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water your African Violet live plant when the top inch of soil feels 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 cause spotting and fungal issues. Use room-temperature water to avoid shocking the plant. For the best African Violet care tips, ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. This easy care houseplant prefers a well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for African Violets or a combination of peat moss, vermiculite, and perlite.

Maintain a comfortable room temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and average to high humidity (around 50-60%). You can increase humidity by placing the pot on a pebble tray filled with water, ensuring the pot does not sit directly in the water. 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. Prune spent blooms and yellowing leaves to encourage new growth and more flowers. Following these African Violet care tips will ensure your plant remains healthy and produces abundant, stunning blue African Violet flowers.
