Detailed Guide to African Violet Care and Precautions
African violet, also known as Saintpaulia, is a perennial evergreen herbaceous plant in the genus Saintpaulia of the family Gesneriaceae. African violet is native to the tropical regions of East Africa and prefers a warm, humid, semi-shaded environment. If light is insufficient, it will bloom less with pale colors, or even only grow leaves without flowering; if light is too strong, it will cause leaves to turn yellow and scorch. It can be placed in a bright spot without direct sunlight for care. The optimal growing temperature is 16°C to 24°C, and in winter it must not drop below 10°C. During cultivation, avoid sudden rises and drops in temperature, otherwise the plant can easily die.
