Which is the best soil for African Violet ?

a well drained soled.they dont like their leaves wetand they will flower when their roots are crowded.so dont get a pot that is to big and water from the bottom.i put a saucer under pot and fill that wit water.the roots will soak it up from there.good luck

any
Reply:i suggest miracle grow low acid potting soil. violets can be killed quickly by too much water so buy a pot(s) with a plate so that you can pour water into plater and the soil will soak the water to the roots. remember dont water the plant by pouring directly onto plant this will cause leaf discoloration and rot.you can propogate africans with leaf cuttings.cut off a leaf from a large plant and place stem into damp soil.check every few days for soil moisture.use miraclegrow moisture holdind potting soil for this
Reply:Most garden centers, like Home Depot and Lowe's, sell a bagged soil that is specially designed for African Violets. The bag actually says that it is African Violet potting soil.





Good luck on growing these beauties, and remember that their leaves absolutely hate to get water on them. I water mine by putting the pots in a basin of water so the water goes into the bottom of the African Violet pot. When the soil gets moist at the top, I take them out and allow them to drain excess water.
Reply:Buy a soil that says For African Violets on the front of the bag.
