☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Your Saintpaulia African Violet loves bright, indirect sunlight. Position it where the light is filtered, such as near a north-facing window or behind a sheer curtain. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, so keep it shielded from harsh rays.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy. Use room temperature water and try to avoid splashing the leaves to prevent water spots. It’s best to water this plant from the bottom, allowing it to soak up water through the drainage holes of its pot.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
The ideal temperature range for your African Violet is between 18-24°C (65-75°F). It’s sensitive to cold drafts and extreme heat, so keep it in a spot with stable temperature away from radiators and cold windows during the winter.
💧 Humidity
💧💧💧 (High)
African Violets thrive in a humid environment, making them perfect for terrariums or kitchens and bathrooms where humidity tends to be higher. If your home is dry, consider using a humidity tray or a small humidifier to keep the air around your plant moist.
🪴 Repotting
Repot your African Violet every year or when you see it outgrowing its pot. Use a well-draining, lightweight houseplant mix to ensure healthy growth. Make sure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
Good news for pet owners! Saintpaulia African Violet is non-toxic to cats and dogs, so you can safely decorate your home without worrying about your furry friends.
