Saintpaulia Trendy Pink - bicolor violets

Parma violets, or Saintpaulia, are plants native to Africa that have been widespread and appreciated worldwide over time.

Care tips:

Light: They prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves. An ideal position is near an east- or west-facing window.

Temperature: The ideal temperature is between 18 and 24°C. Sudden temperature fluctuations can cause the 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 susceptible to fungal diseases. 

Soil: Use well-draining soil, specially formulated for African violets. The soil should be airy and retain sufficient moisture.

Fertilizing: Fertilize the plant once a month, during the growing season (spring–summer), with 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, in a pot with a diameter 1–2 cm larger than the previous one. Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent water stagnation. Repotting should be done in spring or summer.
Height including pot: approx. 10–15 cm
Pot diameter: 9–12 cm

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