African violets are one of the world's most popular houseplants and for good reason. These compact, low-growing plants flower several times a year. They are available in a multitude of leaf forms and colors. African violets are distinguished by a rosette of thick, fuzzy leaves and violet-like flowers that bloom just above the evergreen foliage.

 

Don't be put off by their reputation for difficulty. Providing you follow a few simple rules, African violet care is easy. With a little experience, it's possible to keep these slow-growing plants in flower nearly all year round and grow them to the size of dinner plates.

 

African violets will thrive in bright, warm, and humid conditions. Keep water from touching their leaves or brown spots may develop. Remove dead flowers and leaves to encourage a healthier plant. Regularly check the soil for excess moisture, which leads to root rot.

 

African violets should be kept in moist enough conditions so they don't dry out, and they need good air circulation. Don't be discouraged if your African violets suffer some damage—it's all part of the process.

 

They are commonly grown under fluorescent lights placed 12 to 15 inches above the leaves. East facing light would be perfect. If the leaves start getting light green, your plant is getting too much light, while thin and dark green leaves or a leggy plant indicate too little light

A well-drained potting mix is essential for African violets. Poor drainage can cause root rot, in which the plant becomes waterlogged and its leaves begin to fall, so make sure that the plant is never allowed to be exposed to standing water for an extended period of time.

Keep soil moist with warm water and strive for high humidity. Use a moisture meter to determine how often to water instead of watering on a set schedule.

Do not allow water to contact the leaves of the plant to prevent damage. Water from below, or push the water spout into the soil when watering. Don't allow the plant to sit in water.

Anxious

I had to wait until today to offer my review because my shipment didn’t come until today. The plants(3) were well secure in the shipping box. Great idea to tape all the plants to the box so they won’t shift. The plants themselves were well wrapped for their safety. The plants arrived in good shape.

Shipping a Christmas Cactus

I was leery of shipping this plant, however it arrived in perfect condition, travelling from Michigan to California, and was even blooming when it arrived! I am so pleased with this as it was a gift for my niece. I will happily ship a plant from The Rooted Plant Shop again!
