Care Instructions

  1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. A north- or east-facing window is ideal.
  2. Water: Use room-temperature water and keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Avoid getting water on the leaves, as it can cause spotting.
  3. Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Place on a pebble tray or near a humidifier if the air is too dry.
  4. Feeding: Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a fertilizer specifically formulated for African Violets. Reduce feeding in winter.
  5. Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 75°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
  6. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix formulated for African Violets or a light, airy mix with added perlite.
