Plant of the Week
African Violet: A Year-Round Bloomer

Thanks to its continuous blooms and compact size, the African Violet is a beloved choice for indoor gardeners. With its velvety leaves and a variety of flower colors, ranging from purples and pinks to whites, it brings life and charm to any room.

Care Tips for Thriving Blooms:

  • Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight. A north- or east-facing window works best, or use a grow light for consistent flowering.

  • Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid wetting the leaves, as this can cause spots. Water from below or use room-temperature water for best results.

  • Feeding: Fertilize every 2 weeks with a fertilizer specifically formulated for African Violets to encourage steady blooms.

  • Temperature: Maintain a warm environment between 65–75°F (18–24°C) and avoid drafts.

Bonus Tip:

Remove faded flowers to encourage new growth and keep the plant looking fresh and vibrant!

Fun Fact:

African Violets can bloom multiple times a year under the right conditions, making them a favorite for gardeners who want reliable, year-round color.

Indoor Troubleshooting
Why Isn’t My Plant Blooming?

Struggling to get your flowering plants to bloom? Here’s how to troubleshoot the most common issues:

  1. Light: Most flowering plants need bright, indirect sunlight. If blooms are sparse, consider moving them closer to a light source.

  2. Feeding: Nutrient deficiencies can impact blooming. Use a phosphorus-rich fertilizer, as phosphorus encourages flower production.

  3. Dormancy: Some plants, like the Christmas Cactus, require a rest period to bloom. Mimic their natural cycle by reducing water and light during winter.
