Water from the bottom to avoid wedding the leaves which causes water spots. Pour water into sauce or below the pot and allow it to absorb into the soil (soil should be moist but not soggy). Do not allow the pot to remain in a saucer full of water for an extended time. Allow soil to become dry to the touch between waterings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePlace African Violets in indirect sunlight or under artificial lights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFeed with Espoma Organic Violet!, a natural liquid plant food beginning two weeks after planting during the growing season according to label directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Blooming Junction","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47936196542627,"sku":"31410","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/6919\/2099\/files\/31410.png?v=1785452959","url":"https:\/\/www.bloomingjunction.com\/products\/31410","provider":"Blooming Junction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
