It’s a question that I’d asked myself for years. No kidding...years. I tried everything…
Moving it to various locations to make sure it was getting enough, but not too much, light…
Nothing
Carefully watering based on recommendations from my local nursery…
Nada
Using fertilizer specially made for African violets...
Not happening
Transplanting to a larger pot with improved soil...
Zip
Then I bought a Thirsty Light. The reason for my purchase had nothing to do with the African violet saga. It just seemed like a great way to help me remember to water my houseplants. But, just weeks after adding a Thirsty Light to the pot, my African violet bloomed! I’m still not entirely sure what was wrong with my watering routine. I’m just happy that Thirsty Light has made it right.
Mystery solved!
