Advice To Gardeners Wanting To Grow African Violets
African Violets, Saintpaulia
African violets were given their name after Baron Walter von Saint Paul-Illaire, first discovered the plant in the 18th century. The plant was named African violets because it was first discovered in Africa and its blooms are a close likeness to true violets. The plant belongs to the Violaceae family.
Plant Description
The African violet is a flowering perennial. It has beautiful flowers that have 5 petals. The petals are generally blue violet in color. The flowers can also come in pink, fuchsia and white. The new cultivars of these plants can have doubled or even semi-doubled rows of petals.
African violets make good houseplants. They endlessly bloom when grown under the right conditions. This pretty plant will grow to a height of 15 centimeters. Trailing and miniature subspecies can be located in the marketplace.
Growing Requirements
African violets may be grown in containers and put onto a windowsill with bright light. They require a sufficient quantity of sunshine, preferable that of the afternoon sun. If the plant is subjected to cool and cold temperature, its development will be stunted.
The actual containers as well as the soil medium has to be sterile and clean because this particular plant is prone to root rot. In addition, make sure that the soil has good water flow and drainage.
You may line the bottom of the pot using small stones so you can get even better drainage. Once they grow larger you will need to repot the plant into a larger container. This is necessary to avoid overcrowding plant roots. Expect to repot the African violet every year or so..

problems with my purple Rhododendron and my African violet?
I can not get them to bloom! I got them both last spring and they had blooms then never again! The violet is in a sunny window in my kitchen and the Rhododendron is in a pot outside the green foliage looks healthy! oh I live in MI if that helps? What can I do?
Every now & again rinse a milk carton and water the AV with it. This should be a very weak solution, so the water doesn't cause a foul odor. After 2 or 3 wks you should see duds. I heard i and tried it, after using plant food to no avail. It is the calcium that the violet needs.
as for the rhoddy...most likely it can be solved with a good plant food. Something with micro- nutrients. Another thing might be the pH. If the plant has to much calcium it will not bloom, just make foilage. Coffee grounds at the base (under the mulch) will help to lower the pH and encourage blooms.
Hope this helps.
