Thank you Florar, thats good advice. This one is six years old now, if you like saintpaulias, check my other pics in my garden under african violet mini double. It carries about 60 blooms at a time. Really a showoff. :-)

Janey,

Hmmm. This one didn't bloom for two years. It started up after someone told me to let it get dry before watering. I'm sure you've tried a few things by now. :-) I always under water as Florar says, never from the top. I wish I did something special so I'd have a secret. You could pull it out and clear the soil out of the roots and give it a new violet mix, I always use soil just for them. They survive transplant very well. I never push in the soil, just tap down the pot. Might make all the difference. I sure hope it blooms for you soon. East window? They love flourescents too.

That means they will bloom all over and all summer. Keep those views coming, GT.

Oh, I will, GG. :-) You might get bored of it. :-) I;m curious how big it will get this year. It's really got alot more space in this pot.
