CARE of African violets (Saintpaulia):

African violets come in many colours and shapes: single, double and even star-shaped. Some varieties have fringed petals. This plant grows well under artificial light, which means that the plants flower almost all year round. The leaves are fleshy and hairy.

Location: Do not place the Cape Violets in direct sunlight, but make sure they get enough light. The temperature should not be too high; a room temperature of around 20°C is ideal. They need a humid environment, but make sure that the roots are not constantly in water, as this can cause root rot. Make sure that the temperature does not drop below 16°C in the winter.

Water: Water the plant regularly during the growing season, but let the potting soil dry out slightly between waterings. In the winter, water moderately. Feed the plant regularly during flowering to keep it healthy.

Tip: Immerse the plant or place it on a saucer, but make sure that the leaves are not sprayed, because moisture on the leaves can cause brown spots. Regularly remove old or unsightly leaves.
