Mainly because it blooms almost continuously, with rest periods lasting a few days to a few weeks, depending on the particular plant. It will bud in any window that pro vides light, but under a flourescent light its flowering is spectacular. The colors of the African Violet plants are beautiful; they bloom in delicate pastels, rich purples or luscious pinks. These plants are easy to propagate from leaves rooted in water or vermiculite. Furthermore, they enjoy the same temperature as we do in our homes. What is the “trick” to making these much admired plants bloom? Actually there are no tricks but it is necessary to provide the proper environment and condi tions which produce good health. African Violets are not shade lovers. They will bloom profusely at any well-lit window where the brightness is tempered throughout most of the year by a thin curtain. If you give them too much sun in the early spring, they “speak up” with off-color leaves or turned edges. On the other hand, if the light is inadequate, their stems will elongate. These plants are great for letting you know how they feel. Flourescent light guarantees spectacular blooms on African Violets. Plants should be set seven to ten inches from the light, and the light should be kept on for ten hours at first, then twelve to fourteen hours. Never leave the light on round-the-clock, for the plants need rest. The plants also need more water when they are under flourescent light. African Violets are comfortable at temperatures of 65° to 70° and don’t mind an occa sional rise to 75° or above. But watch out for tempera tures below 60°. During cold winter nights be sure to place cardboard or newspaper between the plants and the window pane. African Violets delight in about 50% humidity which is fairly high for the average home. You can increase the humidity for the plants by placing them on sand pebbles or on sand-filled plastic trays. Keep the trays filled with water just below the base of the pot. If plants are watered from the top, the water will drain down to the tray. When more water is needed in the trays, make it hot water, since it will also add moisture to the air. Any water you can drink the violets can too. It should be at room temperature or slightly warmer. Because our drinking water contains chemicals, let it stand for at least 12 hours in a container before watering plants. African Violets prefer a slightly moist soil at all times.
