African violets are one of the world's most popular houseplants and for good reason. These compact, low-growing plants flower several times a year. They are available in a multitude of leaf forms and colors. African violets are distinguished by a rosette of thick, fuzzy leaves and violet-like flowers that bloom just above the evergreen foliage. African violets do best and produce the most blooms in bright, indirect light with regular house temperatures (no lower than 55F at night nor above 75F during the day). African violets will thrive in bright, warm and humid conditions. Keep water from touching their leaves or brown spots may develop. Remove dead flowers and leaves to encourage a healthier plant. Regularly check the soil for excess moisture, which leads to root rot. African violets should be kept in moist enough conditions that they don't dry out and exposed to good air circulation. Don't be discouraged if your African violets suffer some damage—it's all part of the process.
