I can grow african violets
Comments (13)Hi Sandra, the simple fact youve grown babies indicates that you can grow avs. The simple fact is avs originated in Tanzania , east Africa. Tanzania is located in east Arica and bordered by water and just below the equator as you are just above the equator. AVs were found growing in these conditions although were shaded by rock or foliage. So these conditions that are hot and humid, must be required , we are always told to create more moisture around our avs so we may similate what the avs really thrive in. Most likely someone who told you that where you lived and couldnt grow avs, lives in an area if they put the avs outside they could not exist even one day. Heres the lowdown: Here is a link that might be useful: african violet origination...See MoreAeroGarden To Grow African Violets???
Comments (2)Did you ever get an answer for this question? I'm wondering the same thing. There's an 800 number on aerogarden.com you can call. I might call them tomorrow and see what they say...

Comments (5)Roots are good. African Violets will often make filling their growing space with roots their first priority. Which is a reason to keep them rather root-bound ......See MoreAnyone here use LED lights successfully to grow African Violets?
Comments (4)You’re very welcome Violets N Bunnies! I think your violets may need more light. Are your LED strip lights grow lights, or are they regular LEDs? If they are regular LEDs, then they may not be producing enough light to grow violets. If they are grow lights, then they may be too far away. I’ve had good success with keeping the lights 10 to 12 inches above the tops of the plants. I have 4 violets, a pothos, and a bird’s nest fern under my lights, but I would say that you could keep 2 standard 4-inch violets well-lit under each individual light, or 4 minis per light. My plan was to have my violets rely solely on artificial light, but my windowsill was the only place where the clip would fit : ). My window faces east so the plants get a few hours of morning sun every day, but they could rely solely off the grow light as well. The light works very well for a small collection of violets, but the only problem is that it is an obnoxiously bright pink : ). I have the light on while I’m at school and turn it off when I get home. I got used to the color and the brightness after awhile, but I wouldn't recommend having it in a room that you spend a lot of time in. I hope this helps! damask_rose : )...See Morefortyseven_gw
