I’ve had this African violet for a little under a year - I got it at a local meijer. Repotted and freed it of its root net \& it’s gone crazy! This will be its fourth bloom under my care

looks beautiful!! what kind of soil mix did you use to repot?? i have one myself and am thinking i have to repot soon because the soil in it seems to be hydrophobic :/

Thanks!

I got a custom mix off Etsy composed of the following:

Materials: wood and mushroom composts, biochar, pine bark fines, calcinated clay, coconut coir, rock phosphate, soy protein hydrolysate, vermiculite, perlite

It doesn’t have fantastic drainage, so I’d probably add LECA balls to it in the future, but it has great nutrients
