Reblooming African violets
African violets rebloom easily in the home. If located properly and watered regularly, little need be done besides occasional fertilization. Use either special African violet fertilizers or a houseplant fertilizer high in phosphorus. A very dilute fertilizer solution at each watering keeps growth constant and eliminates any chances of over fertilization.
Pale green leaf color may indicate too much sunlight or low fertility. Do not use water softened by a system using salt in the process.
African violets seldom need pots larger than 4 inches in diameter. The danger of overwatering and development of root and crown rots increases if pots are too big.
Old plants sometimes develop long woody stems. The tips of these plants may be cut off and rooted to form new, more compact plants. However, plants developed from leaf cuttings are generally more vigorous and bloom more abundantly

They also might need to be fed. Sometimes they get a bit tired out and need nourishment. There is African Violet food available and they benefit from that occasionally.

all the solutions are stunning. i could upload, that all and sundry flowers like a relax. that's needless to say satisfied the place it replace into flowering and may be able to require repotting. this is not ordinary. African Violets are like 194 year previous gentle grandmothers, they locate replace stressful. Do it very gently and shop as many different issues the comparable -eg. *place, temperature, easy, out of the draft etc.. do no longer purchase fertiliser, i think of which you would be able to over feed besides as over water and susceptible tea a month after repotting isn't purely extra interior your potential, yet could nicely be offered from everywhere. To repot water and drain plant. Knock out of previous pot, fondle the exterior roots gently to loosen them. Take new greater pot (comparable variety because of the fact the previous one) conserving the previous pot in the hot greater one fill the hot one with clean moist compost. Take previous pot out and upload plant. company compost around the plant. place back because it replace into before repotted*. do no longer eliminate shoots or attempt to chop up the plant. reliable success.
