Contrary to popular belief, African Violets don't need to be babied. Don't over water them. Watering them once or twice a month is usually good enough. The most important thing to remember is not to place them in a sunny, hot window.
This Plant was 3 leaves when I rescued it. this was taken 1-10-2013.
They are always blooming. I have them in a clay pot so I have put saran wrap around the edge of the pot so that the leaves
and the pot do not touch. I water them from the bottom and they sit in natural sunlight.
