That's normal. Once a week, as I water, I remove any leaves or dried blooms from the plant to keep it neat and tidy. If you have a lot of wilted leaves you have a problem. Don't over water. Also, be ready for your plants to take a little rest from blooming on occasion.Donna Ursohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054716348992925559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947853767295365120.post-31205239220925369972023-09-19T14:43:59.325-04:002023-09-19T14:43:59.325-04:00I just received 4 African Violets from my Grandmot...I just received 4 African Violets from my Grandmother.

I bought a pink St.Paulia today, and must take care of this. Your video presentation is indeed inspiring and motivating.

I’m not a big fertilizer user for my African violets. That means I only fertilize occasionally, not more than once a month. I do always fertilize after I transplant/repot. I live by the phrase, “Less is more” with my plants. Too much water or fertilizer is never a good thing. Good luck!!!Donna Ursohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054716348992925559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947853767295365120.post-634838890640759642018-04-29T21:39:20.343-04:002018-04-29T21:39:20.343-04:00Hi Donna, I am going to purchase the plant food on...Hi Donna, I am going to purchase the plant food on the Amazon site.

It is normal for some leaves to turn brown and wilt. Just remove them. More new leaves will replace the ones you take off. If you've had the plant for a while it might need repotting. Did you watch my video? If not be sure to take a look at it.Donna Ursohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054716348992925559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947853767295365120.post-59972317954406036912017-10-23T13:28:35.628-04:002017-10-23T13:28:35.628-04:00I have a african violet in my south bay window of ...I have a african violet in my south bay window of my kitchen.

Just like any flowering plant, there is usually a little rest period after a bloom. I can't answer the question about where to go to order more plants because I don't know where you are from. My best suggestion is to try a local flower shop or garden center.Donna Ursohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054716348992925559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947853767295365120.post-70840199948863191812016-09-06T12:58:59.982-04:002016-09-06T12:58:59.982-04:00How do I get them to bloom?
