Detailed Plant Care Information
⭐ Growth Conditions
Lighting
Bright indirect light - A north or east-facing window is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves. It also blooms beautifully under fluorescent lights for 12-14 hours a day!
Watering
Water from below! Place the pot in a saucer of water for 20-30 minutes. Avoid getting the leaves wet! Water when the soil feels dry to the touch, usually every 5-7 days.
Temperature
Ideal: 18-24°C (65-75°F). Room temperature is perfect. Keep away from cold drafts and AC vents. Sensitive to cold - do not let it drop below 15°C.
Humidity
Prefers high humidity (50-60%). Place on a pebble tray with water or near other plants. Do not mist the leaves! - This causes spots.

Use a specialized African violet fertilizer or a diluted balanced blooming plant fertilizer once a month. Stop in winter. Not blooming? Try a bloom-booster fertilizer!
