They are known for their brightly colored flowers and their ability to thrive in warm, humid climates. While African violets can be grown in any type of pot, there are certain pots that are better suited for them. These include self-watering pots, ceramic pots, and terracotta pots.<\/p>\n
Why do you water African violets from the bottom <\/h3>\n
The African Violet is a beautiful and popular plant that is native to Africa. The roots of the African Violet need aeration, so keeping them moderately moist but never soggy is the key. Watering from the bottom so they can soak the water up, over an hour or so, will help to keep water out of the crown of the plant. African Violets like warmer water, around 70 degrees.<\/p>\n
It is important to water African violets carefully, as too much water can lead to problems such as Pythium, Root Rot and Crown Rot. Water should be applied to keep the soil moist, but never soggy.<\/p>\n
What to do after African violet blooms? <\/h2>\n
If you have success getting your African Violet to bloom, be sure to pinch or deadhead spent blooms. This allows the plant to continue to put energy into creating more buds\/blooms and beautiful foliage.<\/p>\n
If you are unsure about the quality of your tap water, it is best to err on the side of caution and use filtered or distilled water for your African violets. Chlorine levels can fluctuate depending on the season and in some areas tap water may have high amounts of chlorine, chloramines, or dissolved solids which can all adversely affect your African violets.<\/p>\n
