African Violets need bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can burn the leaves. East or north-facing windows are ideal.
Water when the top of the soil feels dry. Use room temperature water and water from the bottom to avoid getting water on the leaves.
Keep temperatures between 18-24°C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
