The Best Soil for Your African Violets

African Violet Soil Mix Provides Nutrients & Optimum Environment for These Houseplants to Thrive

African violets are lovely houseplants prized for their vibrant coloring and rich green foliage. Flowers display deep shades of vibrant blue, bright white, or royal purple coloring and have attractive yellow centers. These delicate flowers rebloom numerous times per year with optimal growing conditions and in the right soil.

Caring for African Violets

It’s a good idea to regularly maintain your African Violet plants by removing dead leaves or spent flowers as you come upon them. This tidying up around your plant will help it grow better. Spring through fall, you should fertilize it every other week with phosphorous-based plant food if needed. 

Light Factors

African Violets enjoy bright ambient light. Indirect light near a north-facing window is a good option. Be sure not to let direct sunlight scorch your plant.

Watering

This plant loves the spa treatment. Place it in a warm and humid environment. African Violet thrives when placed in a regularly used bathroom, as steam from showers and baths will nurture it. 

Potting soil for African violets should be moist but not wet. Avoid overwatering your African Violet as soggy, poorly draining soil can cause root rot. When watering, add lukewarm water at the base of the plant so as to avoid getting the leaves wet. Directly watering the leaves can cause brown spotting. 

African Violets thrive at temperatures between 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. During the colder months, keep them away from cold drafts. 

What Sets Our Soil for African Violets Apart?  

Our African Violet Potting Soil mix provides longer-lasting blooms, and increased vigor, and encourages lush foliage expansion. Our precise mixture of the ingredients provides a semipermeable soil that helps African Violet roots gain access to fresh air. In nature, these lovely plants enjoy a humid environment with their roots often exposed. Our loose and porous potting soil will help the roots stay healthy. So what does the best soil for African violets look like? Let's explore the ingredients below.

Composted Pine Bark

Pine bark acts like a fertilizer and supplies vital nutrients to your African Violet. It also stores away excess water for later use by the plant. 

Organic Perlite

This ingredient locks in moisture while also allowing excess water to drain away. Thereafter, it slowly releases moisture as your plant needs it, which helps your plant stay perfectly moist and fresh!

Perlite makes things light and airy too. Perlite contains tiny air pockets that directly provide oxygen to the roots of your plant. This enables roots to breathe and get proper ventilation.  

Organic Peat Moss

A balanced amount of peat moss maintains the right moisture level. Thereafter plant roots can absorb this much-needed moisture as they need it. Other potting mixes add too much peat moss, which can retain larger sums of water than what African Violets actually need. 

Garden Lime

Garden Lime is an amazing mineral that has the ability to balance soil pH while also making nutrients more bioavailable to plant roots. It can also provide essential minerals like calcium and magnesium. 

Drainage 

Our soil is specifically designed to provide good drainage and aeration, while at the same time optimizing moisture control. 

How to Use African Violet Potting Soil for Your Plants

Though African Violets are relatively easy to take care of, their roots need special consideration. To simplify root care, it’s essential to give your plants the best start by providing them with the right growing medium. 

Not all African violet soil recipes are created equal. We work to bring together the right balance of nutrients and minerals to ensure optimal growth and flowering. 

What’s more, individual plant species have adapted to their own unique growing conditions and our potting mix takes native growing conditions into mind. We do our best to simulate the natural soil environment that wild African Violets enjoy. 

Consider Using Our Potting Mix for Your African Violets!

At Perfect Plants, we make growing indoor plants a breeze. Our signature potting mix makes nurturing African Violets easier than ever! Our moisture control formula provides efficient drainage while capturing just the right amount of water for a slow and steady moisture release, just as the plant needs it. Order yours today!

Happy planting!

Almost had it.
For a $30 pair of jeans, the quality was pretty good. They fit nicely from the waist to mid thigh. Comfortable even on a plus size frame. From there it’s a trash fit. Basically a wide leg jean with minimal flare. May look good on someone taller but I may as well have been wearing an old pair of ufo pants. If you’re on the shorter side and looking for an old AE skinny kick look, these pants are not it.

Love these jeans! Flattering, comfy, tts fit, good price
Size: 16, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash
I love these jeans. I'm 5'7 and normally wear a 16 in jeans. These fit perfectly, it carry all my weight in my midsection and hips and the rise on these is high which I like, but there's enough room and stretch in the waist that they don't dig in. I ordered these when the price was around 23 dollars, which I think was an excellent value, I am going to order the other wash as well. They're not too thick but not too thin, perfectly stretchy but don't get stretched out, and they're comfortable. The leg opening is the perfect amount of flare without being like a bell bottom.

My new go to jeans!!!
5'6", 235lbs, my jeans from LB were mostly size 18 - these 18 fit just as nicely if not better. They are a little long but since I wear boots every day working in the construction field, they do not drag. Love the extra high waist. Don't feel like I bare all when bending over. Needed to replace my jeans from a high dollar plus sized company that keep wearing thin in the thigh but hate the $60-$80 price per pair... again... I work in construction. First I just bought one pair. LOVED THEM the first time I wore them. After their first wash, they were just as great. No color bleed and no shrinking. I immediately ordered two more pair. This is the first pair of jeans I have fallen in love with for years due to their comfort. Appear to be of good quality. I think I look amazing in them which is not something I use often to describe myself. Don't appear to stretch too much during wear. I usually don't review products, but I know how frustrating finding a good pair of jeans can be, especially for larger ladies. I am so excited about and happy with these jeans, I just had to share.

Cute, good quality. Wish there were more sizes available.
Size: 20, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash
Only 4 stars because once again, sizing for women's jeans isn't telling the truth/whole truth/nothing but the truth. I can wear a 20 in other jeans and they're sagging on me by midday. Some 20's feel like 18's. I don't know man. But sizing aside, these jeans are SUPER cute. And I just know that when I am able to sit in them without suffocating ... ladies, you know what I'm saying 😆 ... they're going to be so comfortable too. The material feels like really nice quality. They aren't true high rise but high enough to hold everything together. More like a medium high rise. I was really bummed they didn't have a 22. But I guess this is incentive. I'll order some amazon exercise clothing and work out until these fit me. I'd say they're on the 1/2 size too small of being true to size. But that's not really a fair assessment when no two different brands of jeans are the same in any capacity. If you're positive what size jeans you wear then I 100% recommend these. I can't wait to fit into mine.
