Taking Care of African Violet

African Violet FlowerIn proper growth conditions, an African violet plant will be in flower for about 9 months. In spite on the plant’s dainty look, it is quite easy to take care for.

• Keep the soil moist to dry, allowing it to get dry out between watering; it will ensure the flowering.

• To prevent any leaves’ damage from water, water the plant from the bottom. How to do so? Just place the container or pot in a tray of water, letting the African violet plant take in the water for approximately a half an hour.

• In order your plant to thrive, put it in moderate to bright, indirect light. It should not suffer from sudden temperature changes.

• Take off wilted flowers and leaves for better flowering.

• Add fertilizers once a month or when the plant is actively producing new foliage and buds.
