window sill in my kitchen. I tried other places around my
flat without success last year. Its not always a good idea
to follow advice, as window sills vary in various houses.
Today I have trimmed off the excess growth of outer leaves. These will go into the compost bin, as I havent
space for more in this situation.

Different house. Different aspect.
A man once said to me at a flower show " Dont move that plant from where I have put it. I know what you women are like. Always dusting and moving things !"
He knew the exact position his plant needed to be in.

My African violet has been on a north windowsill for about 8 years - well its not the same one, but a descendant.
