How to Grow African Violet from Seeds

1. Seed Sowing:

   • Use a fine, well-draining potting mix (preferably one designed for African violets).
   • Lightly press seeds onto the soil surface without covering them (they need light to germinate).
   • Keep the soil moist but not soggy using a spray bottle.

2. Germination:

   • Place the seed tray or container in bright, indirect light at 70-75°F (21-24°C).
   • Seeds will germinate in 14-30 days.

3. Transplanting & Growth:

   • Once seedlings develop 2-3 true leaves, transplant them into small pots.
   • Use shallow containers with good drainage.

4. Care & Maintenance:

   • Watering: Use room temperature water and avoid wetting the leaves to prevent rot.
   • Light: Place in bright, indirect light (e.g., near a north- or east-facing window).
   • Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, diluted fertilizer every 2-4 weeks.
   • Humidity: Prefers higher humidity, so consider using a pebble tray.
