Thank you and you have a beauty on your hands! Hopefully mine will look as beautiful as yours. 😊🤞

Yours looks off to a great start if it already produced that many blooms? Are you new to African Violets? I can share some care tips I’ve picked up from caring for mine if you’d like

#### Sharon respondió el 2025-07-03

She began blooming just a few days after I brought her home! I’m still pretty new to caring for African Violets, so I’d love any tips or advice.

\- Wait at least 12-15 days before watering. Let the soil completely dry out between waterings.  
\- Never mist. Never clean leaves, always use lukewarm water, and deadhead once a month.  
\- Keep leaves dry and bottom-water.  
\- Enjoys part-sun, part-shade to shade/at least 2-4 hours of sunlight.  
\- Best kept at 64-75°F. Lowest temp survivable is 32°F. This plant is sensitive to drafts and should be pulled from cold spots in the winter.  
\- Common problems are black spots (fungal infection), brown spots (sunburn/water on leaves/too much light), falling flowers (temperature/humidity changes/overwatering/underwatering/not enough light/pests/nutrient deficiency), yellow leaves/root rot (overwatering), falling leaves (  
yellow leaves (overwatering/underwatering/low humidity/too much light/not enough light/nutrient deficiency), root rot (overwatering), and brown leaf tips (underwatering/low humidity/too bright/warm/pests/fungal infection).  
\- Treat spider mites, scales, and aphids with isopropyl alcohol on a q-tip. Don’t let alcohol touch the soil.  
\- Repot every year with african violet mix or epiphytic/bromeliad mix.  
\- To get it to flower, stretch waterings out in the fall/winter, use a phosphorus-rich fertilizer, keep between 65-75°F, and prune above nodes after flowering to promote branching/more flowers.  
\- Non-toxic to pets if eaten.
