Can I pot orchids and african violet in the same pot?

Can I place african violets into orchid mix, and into the same pot with orchids (Phalaenopsis variety)? Any suggestions on how to make this work?

no orchids do not grow in soil of any kind mostly an orchid medium, such as bark for orchids and African violets use a special soil just for them. Also you will need an orchid pot.to grow them in ,so to let air move through.Orchids do not like to be over watered they can live on high levels of humidity in tropical forest they cling to trees.
Reply:i wouldnt reccommend it becuase orcids need to be watered much more than violets. african violets are easily overwatered.
Reply:No. As they reach adolescence, these two plants will fight. Especially if there are 2 alpha males in the group.
Reply:No. Orchids need to be planted in special gravel because they are air plants. So a google search and you will be surprised.





African violets need special soil and a different method of watering. Do a google search for the planting and care of African violets.
