Product Details
African Violet (Saintpaulia spp.)
Native to the eastern tropical forests of Tanzania and Kenya
African Violets are beloved for their compact size, velvety leaves, and vibrant, year-round blooms. They’ve been a symbol of nurturing care and affection for generations and are often passed down as treasured heirloom plants, making them a great gift for housewarmings, celebrations, or just because.
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light reduces blooming.
Water: Water when the top of the soil feels dry. Use room-temperature water and avoid getting the leaves wet to prevent spotting.
Additional Tips:
-
Bottom-watering is ideal to keep leaves dry and healthy.
-
Fertilize lightly every 4–6 weeks with a fertilizer formulated specifically for African Violets.
-
They bloom best when slightly root-bound—no need to rush repotting!
-
Rotate the plant occasionally to promote even growth.
