Can you grow your African violets in an aquarium atmosphere?
HelperElf
Yes, you can grow African violets in an aquarium or like atmosphere. Especially the trailing and miniature varieties. They love the humidity. They sort of take care of themselves in there. The African violets would need repoting every six months or so and would need fertilizing everytime you water which would be sparingly.
