Know before you buy
Yes, this plant is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for households with cats or dogs.
African Violets thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing them in direct sun, which can scorch the fuzzy leaves, or in low-light corners, which will inhibit their ability to produce flowers.
This plant prefers a moderate watering schedule. It is best to water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, being careful to avoid getting water on the leaves, which can cause spotting.
Yes, with the right care and consistent light, the Pink African Violet is capable of producing blooms throughout the year, rather than just during a specific season.
African Violets are famously easy to propagate. You can grow new plants by taking a healthy leaf cutting and placing the stem in water or moist soil until roots develop.
It arrives fully established in a matching Ecopot with a saucer, so it is ready to display immediately. You do not need to repot it upon arrival.
