How do you re-pot an African violet?

Answer 1

An African violet likes moist soil with no direct sun and plenty of fertilizer. When watering, blot off any access water on plant. Keep your African violet in a room between 62˚F and 72˚F. Fertilize everytime you water. Violets need at least six to eight hours of daylight a day.

Answer 2

Basic tips for growing African violets Materials to use One Part vermiculite, medium or fine grade. One Part perlite, medium grade. One Part Canadian Peat Moss or Violet Mix of your choice. Dolomite lime use two Tablespoon per gallon of mix. Some people add, bat droppings, and other ingredients, it is a personal preference but not necessary to grow healthy plants. Watering and Methods Keep plants moist to slightly on the dry side (not bone dry) not soaking wet all the time. Wick watering, or bottom watering with absorbable material on the bottom of trays. Top water your plants soil every time you water them. Light Light from either: Natural light - North windows are a good choice if possible, no direct sunlight. Artificial lighting (Fluorescent shop light) 6 - 18 inches from plants, depends what you are growing. Lights may stay on from 8-12 hours a day. HumidityThis is important, 50-65 you can mist your plants daily and keep pebbles in the bottom of your plants trays with water in them (plants would not be sitting directly in water all the time) or keep plants sitting on slightly damp towels or some sort of wicking material. Temperature 68 to 80 degrees is best but they can survive in warmer climates.

Answer 3

I've grown quite a few over the years so I have a pretty good idea what they like.

Lots of light, no direct sunlight. Water from the bottom. Sit in a dish of water for about 30 mins. When top is wet you're done.

Do not water again until top is very dry, about every 10 days unless it's very hot. Just check the top, you'll know. It must be dry. No plant likes to be over-watered.

Hope this helps,
