African Violet 4”

Water: Thoroughly water African violets, but be careful! Try not to get water on the leaves, because this will cause spotting damage. If watering from the top, pour water until you notice water coming out from the drain holes at the bottom of the pot. If you want to water from the bottom, which is common for African violets, place the pot in a container that has about an inch of water in it. When the surface becomes moist, remove the pot, and empty the rest of the water that remains. Never let the African violet sit in water, as this will promote root diseases.
Light: Without the correct amount of light, the African violet will not bloom. It thrives in moderate to bright, indirect light, and does best with at least eight hours of darkness.
