- Be careful not to over-water houseplants. Potting soil should be allowed to dry out between watering. Unless your indoor plants are growing under optimum, high light conditions do not fertilize them during the winter months.
• If your African violet has become leggy cut the rosette off, leaving a 2-3 inch stem. Repot into clean, moist potting soil, cover with a plastic bag sealed at the top and place the pot in diffused light. In about six weeks, new roots will form. A fluorescent shop light with ‘cool white’ tubes is excellent for growing African violets if you do not have good natural light. Call us for more information.
