How to Grow Beautiful African Violets

If you're looking for a striking flowering houseplant, consider the African violet. Not only do they adapt to just about every environment, but they are also intriguing to cultivate.

Caring for this colorful plant isn’t difficult. By understanding a few basic guidelines, you can successfully grow healthy, vibrant African violets.

On the way home with your new houseplant, keep it shielded from drafts or blasts of air from air conditioning or heating vents in your vehicle and away from hot, direct sunlight from car windows. Most online stores send violets to you only after securely wrapping them so that they incur no damage during shipment.
