About This Service List Of Topics Visit Gardens E-Mail Comments 3812 - African Violets African violets are among the most popular indoor flowering plants. They are not really violets but, rather, members of the Gesneriad family and are native to east Africa. African violets are easy to grow so long as some rather simple conditions regarding light, temperature, water, and fertility can be met. They grow best in soil which is loose, porous, and well-draining. A good soil mixture contains 1 part peat moss, 1 part loamy garden soil or soil-based, commercial potting mix, and 1 part perlite, vermiculite, or coarse sand. Ready-to-use potting mixes which have been formulated especially for African violets are also readily available for purchase. These may be soil-based or "soilless" depending upon the brand. The biggest challenge in growing African violets is to provide them with enough light to get satisfactory flowering. In our area, exposure to normal daylight will usually be sufficient. Place plants in bright, indirect light from an east- or west-facing window, (generally, place African violets in a south-facing window only in mid-winter). Plants grown in natural light should be rotated a quarter-turn per week to maintain their symmetrical shape. While you can have good success with natural light, artificial light provides more consistent results. Plants grown under cool-white fluorescent tubes, or under the more expensive"Gro-Lites", can be expected to thrive and produce good flowering with 12-14 hours of light daily. Plants should be placed about 12 to 15 inches below the light tubes. Remember intensity of light from fluorescent tubes is a maximum in the area under the mid-sections of the tubes.

This is the first update to the site since then! Gee, what have I been doing? This website is a list and pictures of the African Violets and other gesneriads that I've grown over the years. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! I am sorry to say that I currently have only 3 AVs, 2 streps, and 1 episcia that I barely manage to keep alive. I plan to keep the website going for the enjoyment of the pictures, but please be aware that I no longer have most of them. Hopefully this is a hobby I will pick up again "one day".

HGIC 2250 http://hgic.clemson.edu African Violet Problems African violets are easily the most popular flower-ing houseplants in America. Their popularity arises from the fact that they are easy to grow and can bloom for 10 to 12 months of the year. They commonly have disease and pest problems, but most of these can be avoided by following the recommended cultural practices to keep plants healthy as described in HGIC 1550, African Violet DISEASES Crown and Root Rot: One of the most serious fungal problems of African violet is usually first noticed when the crown and roots of the plant turn soft and mushy. The older leaves droop, and the younger leaves in the center of the plant appear stunted, turn black and die. The fungi Pythium species and Phytophthora species can cause this problem, especially when plants are watered excessively, have poor drainage, or are planted too deeply. Any of these conditions can contribute to rotting of the crown and roots. Prevention and Treatment: Prevent disease by always using sterilized potting soil mixes and clean containers when planting. Do not plant African violets too deep. Discard severely affected plants. Botrytis Blight: Botrytis blight is caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea and often first appears as small water-soaked lesions on the underside of the leaf. Leaves, stems or flowers appear blighted and turn dark brown to gray, often with a fuzzy coating on the surface.

69. African Violet african violets (Saintpaulia) as indoor flowering house plants. Violet potting soil mix, containers, watering, light, temperature, fertilizer, http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC1550.htm

HGIC 1550 http://hgic.clemson.edu African Violet African violets ( Saintpaulia species) are excellent indoor flowering plants. Available in many flower colors, they produce flowers year-round under the proper growing conditions. Individual flower clusters may last three to six weeks under good conditions. Double or semi-double rows of flower petals are available on many of the newer varieties. Bicolored flowers and those with contrasting borders are also popular. Minatures and trailing cultivars are also available. CULTURE Soil Mix and Container: African violets require a soil mix that is well-drained. Commercially prepared packaged soil mixtures are available for African violets. Excellent plants can be grown in mixtures containing equal parts (by volume) of soil, peat and horticultural-grade perlite. Clay or plastic containers are both satisfactory, but the type of container has an important effect on the frequency of watering. Clay pots require more frequent watering than plastic since the amount of evaporation is greater. Decorative glazed pots without drainage holes should not be used due to the lack of drainage. Sterilized soil and containers are important. Watering: One of the most common problems of African violets is excessive watering . African violets are very susceptible to crown and root rots. They may be watered from the top or bottom. When watering from the top, apply enough water to thoroughly saturate the soil. Allow excess water to drain from the bottom of the container. Cold water that comes in contact with the leaves of African violets can cause white blotches. To water the plant from below, place the container in a tray containing about 1 inch of water. When the soil surface becomes moist, remove the pot and discard excess water.

A: (from Jessie Mack Burns, Ask DIY Gardening expert) Well, taking care of an African violet isn't difficult, although many people seem to think it is! Just follow these simple guidelines to keep your African violet healthy and beautiful! African violets are actually different from the wild violets (also known as Johnny jump-ups) often found growing randomly in yards and gardens. The nursery-grown varieties have large, well-defined leaves and aren't always "violet" these beauties come in a variety of vibrant colors, from pure white and pale shades of lavender to bright fuschia and royal purple ( figure A Once you've purchased your plant, you'll want to find a two-part container whose inner pot has an unglazed bottom ( figure B ). By filling the outer pot with water and replacing the inner container, you allow moisture to be absorbed through the porous areas as the violet needs it.

FULL TEXT PAGES: How to Grow and Care for African Violets by Kath Gilliam May 19, 2005 African Violets are lovely indoor plants that love sunshine, constant supply of water, occasional feeding, and semi-annual re-potting. They can easily be cultivated by the rank amateur gardener. A great way to cheer and brighten up a kitchen year-round is by growing African violets. Even a black-thumbed individual whose only gardening companion is the Grim Reaper can sustain pots of these pretty plants by providing them with things we all enjoy: sunshine, food, routine, a nice home, and an occasional extreme makeover. Indeed, African violets are African, but they are no t violets. Captain Baron Walter von Saint Paul, who discovered them in the Usambara Mountains of Africa, noted their resemblance to violets and named them. In fact, their botanical name is saintpaulica Early on, the African violet was characterized by a blue-violet flower and heart-shaped glossy leaves, but through years of hybridization, many varieties have developed. They come with blossoms in all shades of violet, lavender, pink, white, red, and recently yellow, and even variegated of two colors, with clusters of flowers varying in number.

Design Fruits Houseplants Lawns ... Wildlife Issues African violet African violets are a favorite flowering house plant. They are easily propagated from a leaf cutting, they bloom continually all year, and they are available in many flower colors and forms. To grow African violets, you must provide the proper amount of light, otherwise the leaf blades will become thin, and the stalks elongated. The plants often will retain normal color even when they don't get enough light, but they will rarely bloom. When the light is too bright, growth slows and leaves become pale or yellowish green. Leaves are often darker when they are shaded by other leaves and cause flowering to continue at a decreased rate. Eastern and northern exposures provide ideal light conditions, but filtered light in south or west windows also is acceptable. In addition, African violets grow well under artificial light. Night-time temperatures for African violets should be between 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and day-time temperatures should be between 75 to 85 degrees. At low temperatures, the leaves on the plants turn dark, appear water-soaked, and eventually die. Plants grown on a window sill can be easily damaged by low temperature conditions, and may freeze if they touch the glass. When repotting African violets, use potting soils specifically blended for these plants. As a general rule, water African violets only when the soil surface feels dry. Never wait until the soil becomes hard or the plants begin to wilt. Apply enough water each time to thoroughly saturate the soil, and be sure to discard any excess water collected through the bottom of the pot. To prevent spotting, avoid splashing cold water on the leaves.
