Default African Violet - no flowers


"Bertie Doe" wrote
We purchased an African Violet last year from a nursery, in full
flower. This year loadsa leaf growth but no flowers. Soil is neutral
and well drained. Previously, the bed was grass lawn and hasn't been
manured, so may be a feed issue? TIA


You must mean something other than Saintpaulias (or live somewhere very
hot!) because those are tender houseplants in the UK. African lily,
Agapanthus maybe? If it's this it might just be that it's still getting
established, but they do need a position where they get enough sun.
