I don't have a lot of windows -- and the ones I have are either mostly
east or mostly west. I have my two adult African violets in a mostly
west window at present, and they seem to be doing okay. In fact, they
are flowering right now. The window does have a tree in front of it,
so while sun does come in, I think it is at least somewhat filtered by
the tree.

Do you think it's okay to keep the plants in that window? The
windowsill in the kitchen with the mostly eastern exposure is in the
kitchen, and it is not as "easy" a place to have the adult African
violets because it also holds other things.

If they're growing and blooming, they're obviously pretty happy. *My*
over-the-kitchen-sink window is mostly north-facing, and my perpetual
AV plant generator grows nicely. However, when I prune the Camellia
that Wants to Take Over the World outside, the AV goes *nuts* with the
extra light --- blooming and preening and making new plants and
generally delirious with joy. This is pretty much "bright indirect"
light. Last time this happened, I repotted a bunch of the offshoots on
the porch in the summer and left the pots on the railings -- N & E
facing. Nearly all were blooming when I gave them away before fall
weather. They got a *little* direct morning sun.
