Repotting African Violets

By Jane Morse and Pam Brown, UF/IFAS Pinellas County Extension Agents

African violets (Saintpaulia species) are popular house plants that grow under light conditions found in the average home. The African violet plants available for purchase are often planted too deeply for them to thrive, making repotting necessary. Repotting can be a little tricky, so we have provided a short video to show you how. Additional information on the care of African violets is available in the University of Florida/IFAS publication “African Violets” at http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/MG028
