RX?

If it hasn't been repotted, give a slightly larger pot using African
Violet potting soil. Examine the plant for mealy bugs or other
insects. Make sure it has drainage. Give it early morning sun or 2"
from fluorescent grow lights. You should see it blooming profusely in
a few weeks. Give it regular AF feedings.


You can also remove a ring or two of outter leaves if it is very large.
The blossums come with NEW leaf growth at the crown. The way to promote
new growth is to remove old growth.
