Cold water kills the leaves of African Violets. Where the water touches, it causes dead spots on the leaves. Room temperature water will not cause these dead spots.

Is a African violet a house plant?

It likes moist soil with no direct sun shinning on them. When watering, do not get any water on its leaves although if you blot it off no damage will occur. If you have a pet then keep the plant away from the pet as best you can. Keep your African violet in a room between 62˚F and 72˚F. African violets can tolerate temperatures as high as 90 degrees if you have a fan blowing near them and mist them with water several times a day.

Where can African violets grow?

African Violets need a lot of attention. They are particular about their environment and handling. Being indoor plants, they thrive on a constant temperature, not too hot nor too cold. They need bright, indirect sunlight in order to grow and produce flowers. Direct sunlight will burn their delicate leaves. For watering, they should be watered from a bottom tray, never from the top of the pot. Especially don't get the leaves wet as this will cause molds and kill them. Watering should be done once a week, from the tray, and more frequent during the warmer summer months. If they begin to wilt, water them and they should revive, but don't let them go too long without water.A water-soluble fertilizer can be used during the flowering months. My African Violets bloom late summer through early spring. Pruning of the plants help them to grow. Brown and dead leaves, as well as spent flowers, should be clipped with sharp scissors. This will encourage new growth. Occasionally, these violets will fall prey to insect pests, mealy bugs, aphids, spider mites. It is difficult to eradicate them as the leaves of the violets should not get wet with pesticides. If possible, through the infected plant away and start over, or cut a leave and propagate it to begin a new plant. Propagation of a leaf will take 3-4 weeks before roots will begin to grow. At this point it may be planted in the appropriate substrate, one that holds water but has good drainage.
