GENERAL INFORMATION

• Streptocarpus sect. Saintpaulia is a section within Streptocarpus subgenus Streptocarpella consisting of about ten species of herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae, native to Tanzania and adjacent southeastern Kenya in eastern tropical Africa.
• The Saintpaulia houseplant is more commonly known as the African Violet because it originates from Africa and the flowers look like violets (although they're unrelated).

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• Saintpaulia prefers well-draining soil with good moisture retention.
• Use a commercial African violet potting mix or create a mix of equal parts peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.
• The soil should be slightly acidic with a pH around 6.0-6.5.
• Avoid heavy or compacted soils that retain too much water.

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT

• Saintpaulia benefits from regular fertilization with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer formulated for African violets.
• Dilute the fertilizer to half strength and apply it every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Reduce or suspend fertilization during the winter months.
• Avoid overfertilization, as it can lead to salt buildup and leaf burn.

LIGHT REQUIREMENT

• Saintpaulia thrives in bright, indirect light.
• Place the plant near a north or east-facing window to provide bright, filtered light.
• Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause leaf damage.
• Supplemental fluorescent lighting can be used if natural light is insufficient.

WATER REQUIREMENT

• Saintpaulia prefers consistent moisture but not waterlogged conditions.
• Water the plant from the bottom by placing the pot in a saucer of water for a short period, allowing the soil to soak up moisture.
• Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Avoid wetting the foliage to prevent leaf spots and rot
