Saintpaulia Mini Red - violete speciale

Saintpaulia Mini Red - special violets.

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, purple, pink, red, white, and yellow. The leaves of African violets are velvety, green in color, with scalloped or wavy edges.

Care tips:

Light: They prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun exposure, 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 pipette 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 formulated 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 1-2 cm larger in diameter than the previous one. Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent water stagnation. Repotting is done in spring or summer.
