African Violet, Live Plant 4 in. Pot

Description

African Violet/Saintpaulia ionantha

African Violet requires moderate to bright light, South or west windows offer the best light in winter. During warmer seasons, windows with east or north exposures are best. If violets are growing in too little light, the leaves become darker green and thin, petioles or leaf stems are very long and weak, and the plants flower very little if at all. Violets exposed to too much sunlight will have pale yellow-green leaves. Bleached-out, burned or dead areas also may be present. Do not use softened or chlorinated water for African violets. Use room-temperature distilled water, rain water or reverse-osmosis water. Keep the potting mix moist at all times, but not soggy, and never let your plant sit in water. Root rot from over watering is one of the most common reasons African violets die.
