The African Violet, Saintpaulia ionantha, is one of those plants that I’ve been around here and there growing up. I use to think that it was a funny looking plant with its big fuzzy under-leaves and its bouquet of blooms.

If you are growing your own African Violets make sure not to get water on its leaves when you are watering your plant, the plant doesn’t like it. However misting is highly accepted by this plant.
Make sure that your African Violet gets a bright window out of direct sun. Water when the surface soil begins to dry to the touch. As with most all plants use water at room temperature.
