Im not sure of what to do with my African Violets after they are done flowering. Should I pinch them off? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I usually do.

That won’t stop them from blooming again?

#### NattieB55 replied on 2026-08-09

Not in my experience.

### Tim commented on 2026-08-08

Yes.

I clean my violets as soon as the flowers or a leaf begin to dry out. They never stop blooming. They like being cleaned and I feed mine with Jobes Plant Spikes for Flowering plants every 8 weeks. And I feed them on alternating months with Miracle Grow plant food for flowering plants. So every four weeks they get food or fertilizer.
