How to Keep Your African Violets Blooming Year-Round in Germany
African violets remain a favourite among German plant lovers, especially the Usambaraveilchen varieties. These delicate flowering plants require specific care to thrive, from proper watering to seasonal adjustments.
For best growth, African violets need a well-balanced soil mix of 50% peat moss and 50% perlite. Watering should happen every three days, but only when the top layer of soil feels slightly dry. Bottom watering or wick systems work best to avoid damaging the leaves.
With the right care, African violets reward growers with vibrant blooms for most of the year. Their seasonal resting period ensures they return stronger after winter. Proper soil, watering, and light conditions help them flourish in homes across Germany.
