NGB Year of PPT African Violet 2024.pptx
African violets (Saintpaulia ionantha) are one of the most popular houseplants in the world, and for good reason. They are compact, low-growing plants that bloom several times a year in a multitude of colors, including white, pink, purple, blue, and red. African violets are also relatively easy to care for, making them a great choice for both beginners and experienced gardeners.
Here are some tips for caring for your African violet:
Light: African violets prefer bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as this can scorch their leaves. If you don't have a bright window, you can grow African violets under fluorescent lights.
Water: African violets should be watered regularly, but be careful not to overwater them. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. The best way to water African violets is to bottom water them. This means placing the pot in a shallow dish of water and letting the water soak up through the drainage holes.
Soil: African violets need a well-draining potting mix. You can buy a potting mix specifically designed for African violets, or you can make your own by mixing equal parts peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.
Fertilizer: African violets should be fertilized regularly during the growing season (spring and summer). Use a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength. Fertilize every other week.
Grooming: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage new growth. You should also remove any dead or yellowed leaves.
African violets are relatively pest- and disease-resistant, but they can be susceptible to mealybugs, aphids, and spider mites. If you see any pests on your plant, isolate it from other plants and treat it with an insecticidal soap or neem oil.
