Saintpaulia Voila Light Pink - violete africane

Saintpaulia 'Voila Light Pink' belongs to the modern "Voila" series, valued for its sturdy habit and very generous flowering. This variety stands out through its vibrant flowers, which elegantly contrast with the dark green, velvety foliage. It is a classic houseplant, reimagined: more resilient, more compact, and with a color that immediately catches the eye.

🌿 Botanical features:

• Genus: Saintpaulia (African Violet / Parma Violet)

• Family: Gesneriaceae

• Origin: Tanzania and Kenya (mountainous areas)

• Foliage: compact rosette of fleshy leaves, covered with fine hairs (velvety), of intense green color

☀️ Growing conditions:

• Watering (ESSENTIAL): Never water on the leaves! Cold water on leaves causes unsightly spots and rot. It is recommended to water from the saucer (pour water into the saucer, let it absorb for 15-20 minutes, then discard the excess) or directly on the soil, avoiding the leaves.

• Light: loves plenty of light, but indirect. Direct summer sun burns the leaves. In winter, however, it can be moved to a sunnier windowsill to encourage flowering.

• Temperature: it is a true houseplant, preferring steady temperatures (18-24°C); protect it from cold drafts from windows in winter.

• Soil: light, fluffy soil that drains water well (a mix of peat with perlite is ideal)

💚 Advantages and uses:

• Repeated flowering: if given good light and occasional feeding, it can bloom several times a year

• Perfect size: being compact (10-15 cm tall), it fits perfectly on desks, nightstands, or narrow windowsills

• Pet Friendly: it is considered a non-toxic plant for dogs and cats

Note: Delivery stage: You may receive this variety without flowers or with forming buds. Under optimal light conditions, it will bloom spectacularly again in the following weeks.

Transport: The leaves are fragile and can easily detach from mechanical shocks. We pack carefully, but a few leaves broken at the base do not affect the plant’s long-term viability.
