Just added a grow light to my African Violet shelf (south-facing window, but it’s heavily shaded by the roof and a tree). Hopefully they will flower sooner 🙏💕 it’s not on a timer so I’ll be doing my best to add 2-3 hours of the purple light to what it gets during the day since it seems \*almost\* sufficient…  
Lemon Whip, Pow Wow, and Wrangler Spanish Cavalier. And a vintage Avon aftershave bottle in the shape of Abraham Lincoln 🤓

Good luck! I have two that I saved from a shelf in Walgreens and I can’t wait to see them flower 🤞
