African Violets
Gesneriaceae Saintpaulia


3" pot - $2.95

African violets come from a semi-humid jungle environment, so most vivarium conditions are great for these plants. The colors of the flowers vary quite a bit - but we generally only stock the purple which seems to be most commonly used in vivariums today. Try not to hit the flowers directly with cold water - as it can cause spotting. They do best if misted only sparingly - allowing the plant to drink mainly thru the substrate. Don't pack the substrate too tightly around the plant - allow for some aeration & breathing. We try to ship these before they flower - as the flowers would otherwise almost certainly be damaged during shipping.
