African violet won't bloom
Last year I won a small African violet at a luncheon. I've had it on a side table in bright but indirect light, fed it, watered it, spoke kindly to it, but zip blooms. Any suggestions?

I have grown african violets successfully for years and the one thing I
have noticed is that after I bring them home from the store/garden centre they take a long time to rebloom. I think it is because they are forced in the first place. I water sparingly from the bottom and once a month I use Shultz liquid fertilizer. I keep them in lots of light but not direct sun. As suggested in another post they don't like big pots. It seems they don't blossom until they become almost root bound but can stay that way for years. Good Luck as the flowers are worth it. |
