Saintpaulia, commonly called African violet, is a compact flowering plant native to East Africa known for its soft, fuzzy leaves and clusters of blooms in shades of purple, pink, white, or blue. What makes this plant special is its ability to bloom repeatedly indoors while staying small and manageable, with velvety foliage that forms a tight, symmetrical rosette.

Light is one of the biggest factors in keeping African violets happy and blooming. Place them in an east-facing window where they receive soft morning light, or under grow lights using 5000K–6500K bulbs placed 10–12 inches above the foliage. Too little light causes stretched leaves and fewer flowers, while strong direct sun can burn the fuzzy leaves. Bright, even light keeps the plant compact and encourages steady blooming.

Consistency is the secret to healthy African violets. Allow the top portion of the soil to dry slightly, then water thoroughly from the bottom or carefully around the edge of the pot, avoiding water sitting on the leaves or crown. Use a light, airy African violet mix with added perlite so the roots can breathe. They prefer stable moisture, stable temperatures, and stable lighting. If leaves become soft while the soil is wet, the roots are staying too saturated. If blooms slow down, it’s usually a light issue before it’s a watering issue.

I love this shop

The book is done so well. I can’t imagine the time you spent putting this all together. You’re truly a gifted gardener. Thank so much for this. I’ve always gardened outside the house plants and succulents are new for me. So I really appreciate this book and your website with plants in certain lighting. Thanks for helping me succeed in my plants. I also bought a Micah’s. What beautiful plant. Packed nicely and secure. Thank you I’ll be back for more plants. In a true follower from Kansas.

Alocasia-Black Velvet 4" is beautiful, as pictured and getting a new leaf

My Black Velvet Alocasia arrived VERY well packaged, healthy and is already pushing out a new leaf! With all the helpful information listed on the site I was able to place it and care for it exactly as it is needed.

Another beauty!

I am stunned at the Ring of Fire's color. So pretty. She's looking like she handled the trip well and I can't wait to watch her grow.
