Parma violets or Saint Paulia are plants of African origin, widespread and appreciated worldwide over time.
Care tips:
Light: They prefer strong, indirect light. Avoid direct exposure to the sun, which can burn the leaves. An ideal position is near a window facing east or west.
Temperature: The ideal temperature is between 18 and 24°C. Sudden temperature fluctuations 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 period (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
