That African Violets will bloom longer, prettier, and more abundantly if you stick a few rusty nails in the soil alongside them? They are actually a very easy plant to keep. A little sunny spot in your home and these tips and you're all set to have a beautiful little flower.
Always water your African Violet from the bottom by placing the pot in a bowl of water. The pot should have holes in the bottom. The violet will drink all the water it needs. Leave it in the bowl of water until it no longer takes in water.
Take your rusty nail and push it into the soil until you can no longer see it. The rusty nail provides nutrients that the African Violet needs to stay healthy.
Always let your Violet's soil get quite dry before watering. They only require moderate, filtered sun light.
The African violet originated in the warm and dry climate of mountainous East Africa. In the wild, the African violet grows from 50 up to 300 feet tall! Can you imagine? I would love to view such a specimen!
When purchasing an African violet, you can tell if the plant is healthy by its flowers, which should be bright and distinctively colored.
