African Violets are wonderful little plants. They don't mind being root bound and will flower every couple months if given the correct care. A North or east window is the best place for these little plants. Any direct sun burns the leaves. If you don't have a North window then bright indirect light from another window. It's best to not let them dry out but don't keep the soil soggy either. When watering water them from the bottom. If the leaves get water on them it can cause spots and the leaves can rot. Propagating is simple. I have a post on propigating if you would like to check it out. They have beautiful little flowers on them. The flowers come in several different colors. Dark purple w/ white edges, pink, light purple, burgundy, white, etc...When potting I recomment using African Violet potting soil. They have a special mix just for them. They also have special plant food for them. Any questions just ask.
