African violets are native to East Africa, stemming from the tropical rainforests of Tanzania and Kenya. In 1892, German colonial officer Walter von Saint Paul-Illaire identified these plants and sent seeds back to Germany. 

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).

Keep the soil lightly moist, but be careful not to overwater, as African violets’ soft stems are very susceptible to rot.

During the active growing season (spring and summer), fertilize every 2 weeks with a high phosphorous plant food. Only start to fertilize when the plant appears to need an extra boost (slow, thin growth; pale or yellowing leaves).

Over-fertilizing is a more common problem than under-fertilizing since most soil mixes come infused with plenty of nutrients.
