45. How To Care For African Violets How to care for african violets. Simple care African Violet. african violets are plants with heart shaped leaves and delicate blossoms. http://or.essortment.com/africanvioletc_rtxx.htm

How to care for African violets Simple care for keeping the blooms growing and fresh on your African Violet. African Violets are plants with heart shaped leaves and delicate blossoms. True to their cousin, the wild violet, a lot of the blooms are purple in color. However, African Violets do come in blooms of yellow, red, fuchsia, white and multi-colored. Their leaves can be dark green to multi-green. Most of the time these plants are kept inside as houseplants. They can be very stingy with their blooms if they are not taken care of properly. But, when they get the sunlight and nutrition they need they can produce a multitude of healthy blooms year round. bodyOffer(19793) The first consideration when taking care of your African Violet is light. African Violets need at least twelve hours of light a day. They thrive best with natural sunlight, so if there is a window they can sit in where sun shines through for most of the day, they will be happiest there. However, this is a difficult thing to achieve so many people resort to artificial light. Your local nursery will have plant lights of all shapes and sizes and designs. Bring a picture or your plant and the area you wish to keep it with you and the workers at the nursery can help you decide on the plant light that best suits your needs. While you are there, you might as well discuss the proper plant food with the nursery worker.

JAN92PR4.HTMBINAhDmp ÿÿÿÿ ⯊2ô¯Š2ôÇŠ African Voilet Care Contact: Diane Relf, Extension Specialist, Environmental Horticulture Posted April 1997 African violets are more dependent on regular care than most other house plants. They "sulk" quite obviously when they are dry or cold. The plants flower best in bright light, but not in extreme heat and humidity. They bloom well in east or west windows or under fluorescent lights. The preferred daytime temperature is 72 degrees F. Night temperatures should not fall below 62 degrees F. African violets are extremely sensitive to dryness, so it is wise to check the soil moisture daily. Water when the soil feels dry to the touch, but before it becomes hard. Never apply cold water to African violets. It can cause irregular-shaped, white-colored spots to form on the foliage. Use lukewarm water or fill your watering can after each watering and let it sit, so you will have room-temperature water on hand. You may water African violets from either the top or the bottom. When watering from the top, keep water off the leaves and make sure the plant is watered deeply. A small amount of excess water should flow out of the drainage hole. Pour off the excess water. When watering from the bottom, remove pots from the water dish as soon as the soil surface shows moisture. Leaving the pot standing in water will cause the soil to become saturated, eliminating the air spaces that are essential for healthy root growth.

50. African Violet Problems African Violet Problems. african violets are easily the most popular flowering houseplants in America. Do not plant african violets too deep. http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC2250.htm

HGIC 2250 http://hgic.clemson.edu African Violet Problems African violets are easily the most popular flowering houseplants in America. Their popularity arises from the fact that they are easy to grow and can bloom for 10 to 12 months of the year. They commonly have disease and pest problems, but most of these can be avoided by following the recommended cultural practices to keep plants healthy as described in HGIC 1550, African Violet DISEASES Crown and Root Rot: One of the most serious fungal problems of African violet is usually first noticed when the crown and roots of the plant turn soft and mushy. The older leaves droop, and the younger leaves in the center of the plant appear stunted, turn black and die. The fungi Pythium species and Phytophthora species can cause this problem, especially when plants are watered excessively, have poor drainage, or are planted too deeply. Any of these conditions can contribute to rotting of the crown and roots. Prevention and Treatment: Prevent disease by always using sterilized potting soil mixes and clean containers when planting. Do not plant African violets too deep. Discard severely affected plants. Botrytis Blight: Botrytis blight is caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea and often first appears as small water-soaked lesions on the underside of the leaf. Leaves, stems or flowers appear blighted and turn dark brown to gray, often with a fuzzy coating on the surface.

52. African Violet african violets (Saintpaulia) as indoor flowering house plants. African Violet. african violets (Saintpaulia species) are excellent indoor flowering plants. http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC1550.htm

HGIC 1550 http://hgic.clemson.edu African Violet African violets ( Saintpaulia species) are excellent indoor flowering plants. Available in many flower colors, they produce flowers year-round under the proper growing conditions. Individual flower clusters may last three to six weeks under good conditions. Double or semi-double rows of flower petals are available on many of the newer varieties. Bicolored flowers and those with contrasting borders are also popular. Minatures and trailing cultivars are also available. CULTURE Soil Mix and Container: African violets require a soil mix that is well-drained. Commercially prepared packaged soil mixtures are available for African violets. Excellent plants can be grown in mixtures containing equal parts (by volume) of soil, peat and horticultural-grade perlite. Clay or plastic containers are both satisfactory, but the type of container has an important effect on the frequency of watering. Clay pots require more frequent watering than plastic since the amount of evaporation is greater. Decorative glazed pots without drainage holes should not be used due to the lack of drainage. Sterilized soil and containers are important. Watering: One of the most common problems of African violets is excessive watering . African violets are very susceptible to crown and root rots. They may be watered from the top or bottom. When watering from the top, apply enough water to thoroughly saturate the soil. Allow excess water to drain from the bottom of the container. Cold water that comes in contact with the leaves of African violets can cause white blotches. To water the plant from below, place the container in a tray containing about 1 inch of water. When the soil surface becomes moist, remove the pot and discard excess water.

54. Helpful Hints For African Violets has been a worldwide distributor of top quality african violets and companion plants since 1954. african violets do like fresh air but do not like drafts! http://www.lyndonlyon.com/hints.html

Lyndon Lyon Greenhouses, Inc. Phone# 315-429-8291 WELCOME HOME - One of the first mistakes many people make after bringing new plants home, be it shipped from a greenhouse far away or the local supermarket, is to immediately repot them. THIS IS NOT A GOOD PRACTICE! Plants need a chance to adjust to new surroundings, light, temperatures, humidity, any change in condition before attempting to repot. A good rule of thumb is to wait 4 weeks before repotting. When you are ready, refer to the section on "Potting" for a very important message! LIGHTING - In our greenhouses, plants are bred, propagated, and grown in both natural light and fluorescent light. We find that plants grown under fluorescent lighting tend to have a more vivid color and larger blooms. Variegated foliage is more intensified, too. Adequate light is very important for abundant bloom. Any window that has strong, bright light is good. Mild direct sunshine is beneficial. Shield violets from hot mid- day sun with sheer curtains. Turn pots 1/4 turn every two days to promote even growth, so that your plant does not grow "lopsided". Light intensity decreases sharply as you move away from the light source, so do keep the plants as near the window as possible. If you do not have good natural light, use fluorescent lights 12 hours a day. Cool white, daylight or tubes designed specifically for growing plants may be used alone or in combination. Distance from lights depends upon intensity and type of tube as well as variety of plant. A general rule is 12 to 16 inches from top of pot to bottom of light tube for standard growing varieties and 6 to 10 inches for miniature varieties. Light fixtures should be adjustable, to raise or lower to attain desired height.

57. African Violet (Green Pages) [Montréal Botanical Garden] The African violet is a member of the family Gesneriaceae. african violets come in shades of white, blue, purple, coral, pink and even yellow. http://www2.ville.montreal.qc.ca/jardin/en/info_verte/saintpaulia/saintpaulia.ht

Light Temperature Humidity Watering ... Print this page (PDF format) The African violet is a member of the family Gesneriaceae It was discovered by Baron Walter Von Saint-Paul in 1892 and, upon its introduction in Europe, was baptized Saintpaulia ionantha . The genus Saintpaulia was named after its discoverer and the species name, ionantha , is Greek, meaning "having flowers like the violet's". From that point on, the common name of "African violet" became popular, giving the impression that the genus is related to the true violet, Viola . In fact, the two genera are very different, botanically speaking. There are numerous species of Saintpaulia , although few of them are actually cultivated. Most plants sold on the market are hybrids derived from Saintpaulia ionantha Because of its small size, the ease with which it blooms in the home and the wide variety of cultivars and hybrids available, the African violet has long been one of the most popular flowering house plants. African violets come in shades of white, blue, purple, coral, pink and even yellow. The petals may be bicoloured, ruffled or even double. The various shades of green foliage may also be variegated. The leaf margins are sometimes finely serrated, ruffled or lobed. Finally, there are a number of miniature and hanging cultivars available. A common complaint among amateur growers is the difficulty of maintaining beautiful flowers. However, provided that an African violet is given the proper growing conditions, it is relatively easy to obtain good results.

58. African Violet: Propagation (Green Pages) [Montréal Botanical Garden] Green pages. Print this page (PDF format). Propagation. african violets are propagated from seed or, more frequently, from cuttings. http://www2.ville.montreal.qc.ca/jardin/en/info_verte/saintpaulia/multipli.htm

The African Violet Light Temperature Humidity ... Print this page (PDF format) Propagation African violets are propagated from seed or, more frequently, from cuttings. With seeds, you can obtain a large number of new plants, but they may not resemble the parent very closely. Some amateur growers pollinate their plants themselves to produce new hybrids, while others buy their seed from specialized nurseries. Propagation from cuttings is more common. The advantage of this method is that the new plants will all be identical to the parent and will bloom more quickly. Taking leaf cuttings is a common technique, among both commercial and private growers. Select a strong, healthy stem that is neither too young nor too old. First water the plant, and then remove a stem from the second-last row of leaves. Cut the stem to 3 to 5 cm on the diagonal with a sharp knife. Insert the stem at a 45° angle into a rooting medium such as vermiculite, ensuring that the leaf does not touch the surface. You may wish to put a small stick or piece of plastic under the leaf to hold it in place. Rootlets will form quickly if the pot is placed in a bright spot out of direct sunlight; keep it warm from underneath, the rooting medium evenly damp and the humidity in the air constant. A plastic bag or glass may be placed over the cutting, provided that it doesn’t touch the leaf.
