Moreover, African violet plants with dark green foliage need more light than those with pale/medium green foliage. To keep flowers from reaching for the light, rotate pots regularly. If light cannot be maintained for eight hours, consider using fluorescent lights. Water ? Proper watering is probably the most important for growing African violet plants. Use room temperature water. Water at the base and never splash the foliage with water; just a drop can cause foliar spots and damage. Water when the soil feels dry to the touch. Never let African Violets stand in water or completely dry out. Temperature ? African Violets prefer the same temperatures most people find comfortable: between 70-80F during the day, and around 65?70F at night. Feeding ? Fertilize African Violets with special African Violet food, or a food with a higher phosphorus number (the middle number in the NPK fertilizer ratio, such as 15-30-15). Fertilizer can be mixed at one-quarter strength and used at every watering. Not enough fertilizer will cause reduced flowering and paler leaf color. #liveplant #bareroot #starterplant #seedling #plant #SeedsForSale #PlantSeeds #GardenSeeds #OrganicSeeds #GrowYourOwn #SeedlingsForSale #HomeGardening #VegetableSeeds #FlowerSeeds #HerbSeeds #SeedsForSale #GardenSeeds #PlantSeeds #GrowYourOwnFood #OrganicSeeds #SeedStarter #HomeGardening #HerbSeeds #VegetableSeeds #FlowerSeeds #PlantsForSale #Houseplants #GardenPlants #IndoorPlants #OutdoorPlants #PlantLovers #Succulents #FloweringPlants #RarePlants #PlantParent #seeds #seed #home #garden #beautiful #tree #flower #rose #bonsai #liveplant #fruit #vegetable #usa #usaseller #blooming #winter #summer #cutting #bareroot #spring #gift #fall #autumn #shrub #herb #root #houseplant #bulbs #gardening #plants #usaseller #grafted #pot #seedling #starterplant #rooted #yard #grass #trailing #balcony #cutflowers #OrganicSeeds #HeirloomSeeds #VegetableSeeds #FlowerSeeds #HerbSeeds #FruitSeeds #GardenSeeds #SeedStarter Kits #RareSeeds #BulkSeeds #IndoorGardeningSeeds #SeedCatalog #SeedPacksforSale #SustainableSeeds #GreenhouseSeeds #Seed Suppliers #PlantingSeeds #HomeGardenSeeds
