Mastering African Violets: Tips for Healthy Blossoms

[@davidhalley9795]

Great tips! I bought one a couple of months ago. It's my very first african violet. I've been bottom watering and seams happy. Coincidently I have a similar pot but no hole. I love that pot but I thought it was cursed because nothing would last until I planted a snake plant in it. I would love to know about repotting in a larger pot. Mine is still in its nursery pot sitting in a 4" ceramic pot.

The bottom watering 2-part pots are the thing that makes it work! The pot I’m using currently is for a 4” African Violet. I’m working on a video that talks about repotting to a larger pot and what size bottom-watering pots are available. Thanks for the comment - I appreciate it!

You have to take the AV out of the plastic pot and put it in the clay pot right?

[@vintagelifebydenise]

No. I leave it in the plastic pot. It will draw up the water in the plastic pot.

So I think wicking your African Violet is actually the secret, not having a certain pot. You can find instructions on line on how to wick your plants, not just African violets but other aroid type plants by using yarn and using it as a wick. It would take me a long time to be able to buy 30.00 pots for all my plants!

@@mikeboothe I’ll look into that! Thank you!

Great video but….the music is competing with your voice, and is very distracting. No music please! 🙏
