African Violets

African Violets

moderately bright light (diffused sunlight) is preferred.  Near a sunny window but not exposed to direct sunlight. 

Good drainage is essential.  Violets prefer to be watered from below, so place them in a saucer with water when dry and let them drink from the roots.  Water on the leaves can cause spotting. 

They like to be warm 70-72 degrees daytime 68-70 night time. 

Lack of flowering is usually caused by low light.
