About African Violet - Purple
The African Violet is a compact, flowering houseplant with fuzzy leaves and delicate purple blooms. It's a favourite for tabletops and windowsills, adding year-round colour in a small footprint.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Bright, indirect sunlight; avoid direct harsh rays, which can scorch the fuzzy leaves.
- Soil: Light, well-aerated mix with good moisture retention.
- Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity; avoid wetting the leaves, which can cause spotting.
Placement
Best on east- or north-facing windowsills, office desks, bedside tables, or coffee tables where it gets bright indirect light.
Care
- Watering: Water from the base or keep soil evenly moist; avoid wetting the leaves directly.
- Fertilizer: Use a diluted liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during active growth.
- Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years, or once the plant outgrows its pot.
- Pruning: Remove faded flowers and yellowing leaves to encourage new blooms.
Note: This listing ships a young potted plant. Growth rate and mature size vary by light, care, and environment.
