Jessica's African Violet Expedition

the flower princess

                              My African Violet Setup


I have two roughly 6 ft. by 4 ft. metal stands that I keep my African Violets,

Streps, & Epsicias on.  I also have a bakers rack that I have in front of a

southwestern facing window and I have African Violets on it as well.  I use 2 bulb

4 ft. fluorescent shop lights.  I have a plant grow bulb in one side and a regular

cool white in the other side.  I grow my standards 10 inches from the lights and

my mini/semimini 8 inches away from the lights.

I use a mixture of commercially available African Violet soil & Perlite. I am

experimenting with different soil types so I will post the results when I am

finished.  I pot my violets in plastic african violet pots.  I do not use the self

watering violets pots, they didn't work for me.  I top water all my violets.  I water

with warm tap water.  I rotate watering my violets with Miracle Grow African

Violet Plant Food 7-7-7 & Fish Emulsion (which is awesome!!) probably once a

month.
