African Violet Spotlight | How to Grow, Propagate, & Care for Violets

African Violets, a.k.a. Saintpaulia ionantha, are one of the most popular flowering houseplants because they are easy to grow, tolerate average indoor conditions, and can flower throughout the year. Watch this video with Noelle, Horticulturist and Education Director with Petitti Garden Centers, to learn more about how to be successful with African Violets. According to the ASPCA, African Violets are a great pet-friently plant to have around! These plants prefer bright, indirect sunlight like you would recieve from a northern or eastern exposure window. Pro-Tip: African Violets can develop a long "neck" of the plant. If your flowers and foliage have extended out of the pot and started to flop over, we recommend removing some of the root base, repotting and burrying the "neck" so that only 1/2" is above the soil.

These varieties, such as Celestial™ Northern Lights, Celestial™ Starry Night, and Celestial™ Blue Moon, are heat tolerant and hardier than most pansies but need a cool, shady spot for summer in the garden. Pansies and Violas are frost tolerant and attract early-season pollinators!
