The Best Soil for Your African Violets

African Violet Soil Mix Provides Nutrients & Optimum Environment for These Houseplants to Thrive

African violets are lovely houseplants prized for their vibrant coloring and rich green foliage. Flowers display deep shades of vibrant blue, bright white, or royal purple coloring and have attractive yellow centers. These delicate flowers rebloom numerous times per year with optimal growing conditions and in the right soil.

Caring for African Violets

It’s a good idea to regularly maintain your African Violet plants by removing dead leaves or spent flowers as you come upon them. This tidying up around your plant will help it grow better. Spring through fall, you should fertilize it every other week with phosphorous-based plant food if needed. 

Light Factors

African Violets enjoy bright ambient light. Indirect light near a north-facing window is a good option. Be sure not to let direct sunlight scorch your plant.

Watering

This plant loves the spa treatment. Place it in a warm and humid environment. African Violet thrives when placed in a regularly used bathroom, as steam from showers and baths will nurture it. 

Potting soil for African violets should be moist but not wet. Avoid overwatering your African Violet as soggy, poorly draining soil can cause root rot. When watering, add lukewarm water at the base of the plant so as to avoid getting the leaves wet. Directly watering the leaves can cause brown spotting. 

African Violets thrive at temperatures between 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. During the colder months, keep them away from cold drafts. 

What Sets Our Soil for African Violets Apart?  

Our African Violet Potting Soil mix provides longer-lasting blooms, and increased vigor, and encourages lush foliage expansion. Our precise mixture of the ingredients provides a semipermeable soil that helps African Violet roots gain access to fresh air. In nature, these lovely plants enjoy a humid environment with their roots often exposed. Our loose and porous potting soil will help the roots stay healthy. So what does the best soil for African violets look like? Let's explore the ingredients below.

Composted Pine Bark

Pine bark acts like a fertilizer and supplies vital nutrients to your African Violet. It also stores away excess water for later use by the plant. 

Organic Perlite

This ingredient locks in moisture while also allowing excess water to drain away. Thereafter, it slowly releases moisture as your plant needs it, which helps your plant stay perfectly moist and fresh!

Perlite makes things light and airy too. Perlite contains tiny air pockets that directly provide oxygen to the roots of your plant. This enables roots to breathe and get proper ventilation.  

Organic Peat Moss

A balanced amount of peat moss maintains the right moisture level. Thereafter plant roots can absorb this much-needed moisture as they need it. Other potting mixes add too much peat moss, which can retain larger sums of water than what African Violets actually need. 

Garden Lime

Garden Lime is an amazing mineral that has the ability to balance soil pH while also making nutrients more bioavailable to plant roots. It can also provide essential minerals like calcium and magnesium. 

Drainage 

Our soil is specifically designed to provide good drainage and aeration, while at the same time optimizing moisture control. 

How to Use African Violet Potting Soil for Your Plants

Though African Violets are relatively easy to take care of, their roots need special consideration. To simplify root care, it’s essential to give your plants the best start by providing them with the right growing medium. 

Not all African violet soil recipes are created equal. We work to bring together the right balance of nutrients and minerals to ensure optimal growth and flowering. 

What’s more, individual plant species have adapted to their own unique growing conditions and our potting mix takes native growing conditions into mind. We do our best to simulate the natural soil environment that wild African Violets enjoy. 

Consider Using Our Potting Mix for Your African Violets!

At Perfect Plants, we make growing indoor plants a breeze. Our signature potting mix makes nurturing African Violets easier than ever! Our moisture control formula provides efficient drainage while capturing just the right amount of water for a slow and steady moisture release, just as the plant needs it. Order yours today!

Happy planting!

Durable & Leather. For Small-Medium Dogs
Size: 15 in, Color: Retriever, Size: 15 in, Color: Retriever
This is a great dog toy! My Pomeranian is a small guy at only 8lbs. but he sure knows how to chew and he does it as often as he can. I was throwing out toy after toy because he was tearing them to pieces after only a half hour or so. After putting my money in the garbage so many times, I decided to search for toys that would hold up to his destructive mouth. I found a lot that claimed they wouldn't fall apart but they were all more than I wanted to spend. I came across this toy and a rabbit shaped one just like this. I bought both months ago and both are still in tact after all this time. Sure the edges are a little frayed but other than that, no damage whatsoever! I'm not sure what dura fused means but that seemed promising to me when I was reading the description, also the fact that they're leather made them seem more durable to me. Both have squeakers inside and some sort of stuffing as well. I throw all of my dogs toys in the laundry or hand wash them once a week, except for these. When these toys get wet with my dogs saliva, they look like they're not meant to get wet. Even without washing, these seem fine. This toy is probably about 9" long or so if I had to guess. In my opinion, it'd be perfect for a medium sized dog. It's a tiny bit big for my little guy but he manages just fine! If you're looking for a durable toy that your small to medium dog can chew on constantly, look no further!

Always looking for less destructible dog toys
Size: 8 in, Color: Squirrel, Size: 8 in, Color: Squirrel
I am constantly searching for aggressive chewer dog toys. So many claim to be and one look and you know they haven’t met your dog!! Our golden retriever is so sweet until he gets his claws and teeth into a new toy. We nicknamed him the shredder, as he rips his new toys to pieces. I accidentally stumbled across this toy. We have never owned a leather dog toy. The squirrel is going to give Maverick a run for his money. The edges are double sewn closed. I am very impressed with the quality of this toy for $5.75 which includes the sales price and an additional 10% off coupon. Even without those two incentives the toy is less than $8 prime. The other shapes are similar or cheaper in price and now I see a 50% off 1 toy coupon when you buy 2. What a deal and the squirrel has a squeaker inside. What I like about the squirrel is that there’s less limbs or appendages for Maverick to shred off. The bunny has ears, the raccoon has hands, the buffalo has legs, the bone and retriever stick have a rope, the bear has a neck and head that could be chewed off, similar to the fox who has a tail and snout. The squirrel looks like it would be harder to destroy! The squeaker was hard to push at first but is easier now. Maverick has a black lab sister who loves squirrels, more so than she loves toys, and I found this toy searching for squirrel toys for her. It is offered in 8 other shapes. The squirrel measures almost 8” tall by 5” wide. It’s perfect for a medium or large size dog. Based on the construction of this squirrel dog toy it looks acceptable for an aggressive chewer and won’t break the bank. It’s very affordable. Always supervise! Updates to follow at Christmas:). BTW, the squirrel did not smell bad upon opening.

Puppy loves it. Well built and fun for her to play with.
Size: 15 in, Color: Retriever
My double doodle mix loved this toy. It is well made and she loves the different texture of the rope. Sadly she has already torn the rope apart and so now it’s just the leather part. This would be the perfect toy for non agressive chewers. Wish the rope lasted a little longer. SPOT is my new favorite company to get her chew toys from now. They’re well built and aren’t expensive like all the other dog toys out there.

Destroyed in under 10 minutes
Size: 9 in, Color: Large Bone
I bought 2 of these toys, one for my 9 year old great dane who isn't an aggressive chewer, and one for my 6 month old puppy who is average. In less than 10 minutes both were destroyed and my dane managed to swallow a good chunk. I wasn't surprised when they both had small holes on the ends and started pulling the stuffing out. The stuffing and squeakers were confiscated immediately, but I let them keep chewing. By the time I came back from throwing the insides away, both dogs had chewed the toys in half and my dane swallowed a chunk when he saw me coming. The puppy was going to do the same thing, but luckily we're working on his "drop" command so he was excited enough for the bigger payout and dropped it. They didn't just come apart at the seams, the whole toy ripped in half making it too easy to swallow. Neither of them are aggressive cheers and the toys didn't hold up at all. A stuffed animal toy would have lasted longer (and has any time I've allowed it). 10 minutes of playtime is probably too generous , but I'm trying to be fair. If I hadn't been right there watching them, they both would have been able to swallow the whole thing in minutes. Definitely not safe for any amount of actual chewing.

The perfect teething toy for a puppy of any size - apparently indestructible!
Size: 9 in, Color: Large Bone, Size: 9 in, Color: Large Bone
I ordered this product for an overly excitable, destructive corgi chihuahua mix puppy, who was teething. He was a foster and managed to destroy, almost immediately, every toy I had on-hand for him, and toys I picked up at the local pet store. I was very concerned he'd swallow parts of toys, which can lead to fatal intestinal blockages, not to mention extremely high vet bills which I couldn't cover as a simple foster mom. When it arrived, I crossed my fingers that the "Seam Protection - doubled-stitched seams with heavy duty thread" would actually add "extra durability." And I was NOT disappointed! The bone shape of the toy would probably fit comfortably in the mouth of any dog or puppy, as you can see from photo #4. What's coolest about the shape of this toy is the pup can sink all of his or her teeth into it, providing comfort for the entire mouth and not just a few teeth or only one section of its mouth at a time. I was much more experienced as a kitten foster mom, and had had similar difficulties finding teething toys for kittens. This toy is thin and light weight enough that I imagine it could provide relief for little kitten mouths, also, but I didn't get to find out, as my little foster pup chose this as his #1 favorite toy and brought it with him to his forever home. I wanted to know how long it would take before he'd destroy it, though (picture 5 he'd had this Dura-Fused bone toy for a few hours short of one week, and the last photo - you'll see he'd not even undone a small portion of the seam!) Overall I would highly recommend this product for teething babies of almost any species. As far as I could tell it is indestructible. Almost seven days of constant gnawing and he'd not even taken one stitch out, created any tear or rip, let alone, gotten close to being able to swallow the squeaker (always a fear!). I imagine months later, he's still been unsuccessful at ripping/tearing this toy at all. I'd gladly buy again should I foster any dog or puppy - the company lives up to its moniker, Ethical Products, because they've produced a no-frills and apparently indestructible squeak toy which I'd have no fears of leaving with a teething puppy unsupervised. Highly recommended!
