€6,95

African violets (Saintpaulia) are small and delicate houseplants, native to Tanzania and Kenya. They are known for their colorful and abundant flowers, which can be single, double, or semi-double, in various shades of blue, violet, pink, red, white, and yellow. The leaves of African violets are velvety, green in color, with scalloped or wavy edges.

Care tips:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves. An ideal spot is near a window facing east or west.

Temperature: The ideal temperature is between 18 and 24°C. Sudden temperature changes can cause flowers to drop.

Watering: Water the plant when the soil is dry on the surface. Water from below or use a dropper to avoid wetting the leaves.

Humidity: African violets prefer moderate humidity. Avoid spraying the leaves, as this can make them prone to fungal diseases.

Soil: Use well-drained soil, specially made for African violets. The soil should be airy and retain enough moisture.

Fertilizing: Fertilize the plant once a month, during the growing season (spring-summer), with a diluted fertilizer for flowering plants. Use a fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium. Avoid fertilizing during winter.

Repotting: Repot the plant every 2-3 years, into a pot with a diameter 1-2 cm larger than the previous one. Choose a pot with drainage holes to avoid water stagnation. Repotting is done in spring or summer.
Height including pot: approx. 10-15 cm
Pot diameter: 9-12 cm

Note: The leaves of this plant are brittle and can easily be damaged during transport and handling. The price applies to a plant with or without flowers.

The intensity of the color may change depending on environmental conditions.
