Why is my african violet not blooming? leaves are beautiful.?

African violets like to have their roots bound before they bloom. If they are in too big of a pot you probably won't get any blooms until the roots fill up the soil. I also like to use a special african violet pot that has two dishes...one fits inside the other...you put water in the bottom bowl and plant the african violet in the top one. The top one allows water to be soaked up into it and solves the problem of when to water...just keep water in the bottom bowl. You can fertilize in Spring with a light fertilizer. And keep them in a room with bright indirect sunlight.

sometimes it will have a little rest.

Reply:IF fed correctly, placed in a north facing window, count on them blooming about once a month. Good luck
Reply:It sounds like you are over feeding them. Usually if you have great greenery and no blooms your soil is too rich, high in nitrogen.
Reply:I agree with using the African violet pots...I get them at Lowe's or Home Depot. Try that, and use the Miracle Gro liquid African violet food. Dilute it as the directions say and just give them a small dose of fertilizer every time you water them. Mine do best in indirect light in my east windows. Good luck!
Reply:African violets like warm indirect light. I keep mine on a shelf in a south window, but with venetian blinds pulled down behind them...they may need a little fertilizer...let soil completely dry out before you water...
