Extractions: Indoor Garden Guides African Violet African Violets – do they deserve their finicky flowering reputation? Yes and No. While African Violets flourish with a precise recipe of light, moisture, warmth and feeding, once you know the recipe, it’s an easy one to follow. It helps to understand African Violets if you know their origin. African Violets are native to Tanzania, which is in East Africa. This means they tend to grow best under similar conditions to their native environment, which is a warm climate with a lighter, airy growing medium rather than a heavy potting soil.

All 'Rob's' varieties are proven, show-quality plants that grow and bloom readily, even under less than ideal conditions. They are bred to shape nicely, bloom continually, and typically will have unusually colored and larger than average-size blooms. All do well under either artificial or natural light. We also grow many standard-size varieties (actually more than we do minis!). Our 'Ma's' varieties of standard-sized African violets possess the same characteristics and have become favorites of both hobbyist and collector. We grow only superior varieties that grow and bloom easily. We have no interest in growing "problem plants". Most will also make excellent show plants for those interested in exhibition.

It is also known as Saintpaulia and is native to Tanzania and adjacent southeastern Kenya, with a concentration of species in the Nguru mountains of Tanzania. African violet is closely related to Streptocarpus and a recent phylogenetic study suggests that it has evolved directly from subgenus Streptocarpella. The name of the flowering plant was given due to a superficial resemblance to true violets. African violet has furry soft leaves and dainty blooms quickly, it is one of those rare house plants that really are easy to look after. The plant is widely cultivated as house plants. Only a few of these species have been used in breeding programs for the hybrids presently available in the market. African violet plants are cultivars derived from Saintpaulia ionantha. Today, there is a wide range of species and are sources of genes to be introduced into modern cultivars.

Extractions: Cultivars Propagation Growing Environment Potting and Finishing ... Pests History and Market The African Violet, Saintpaulia ionantha, is among the most popular of house plants with wholesale sales in 1995 exceeding 25 million dollars. This popularity is due to its ability to thrive under conditions commonly found in most homes, and its usefulness as a specimen plant, center piece, or feature in dish gardens. Since its introduction into the United States in 1894, hundreds of African Violet cultivars have been developed that provide a wide range of flower colors, foliage types, and plant sizes. Though many Americans purchase African Violets as an impulse item, there are dedicated enthusiasts who grow, breed, and show them. African Violets were originally discovered in 1892 in two separate locations of northeast Tanga in Eastern Africa by Baron Walter von Saint Paul, then governor of German East Africa. Saint Paul sent either plants or seed to his father in Germany where they quickly became popular in European Horticultural circles. Herman Wendlan, a prominent botanist at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Herrenhausen Germany, gave the genus name Saintpaulia in honor of its discoverer, and the two species, S. ionantha and S. confusa, became parents to most of the cultivators available today. Most commercial growers of African Violets in this country do so on a modest scale. These growers usually obtain established transplants from a wholesale propagator for either year-round production or, more often, to meet seasonal demand. However, there are a number of large scale operations that propagate and produce upward of one million plants a year. The primary marketing holidays for African Violets are Saint Valentine's Day, Easter, and Mother's Day.

Extractions: Home Growing Flowers How to Care for African Violets By an eHow Contributor I want to do this! What's This? African violets are common house plants that are beautiful to look at. African violets are not very difficult to keep healthy, but they do have certain needs they require in order to survive. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Keep your African violets indoors only and by a window. African violets like to get a bit of sunlight each day. If you can put your flowers in a window looking out to the east, they can get their needed sunlight every morning. Water your African violets only after you have let your water sit in your watering can for eight hours or so. This will let any water impurities evaporate into the air. African violets do not do as well with chemicals that are found naturally in tap water. Place the watering can near the soil of your African violets pot when watering the flowers. The leaves of African violets should not get wet if you can help it. Water your African violets any time the soil that they live in becomes dry. You might have to check the soil for moisture every couple of days.

Extractions: The Company was founded in 1904, by Martin Dorrenbach in Isselburg, in the lower Rhein Valley of Germany. By the 1930's, the son-in-law and horticulturist, Hermann Holtkamp, Sr. started to breed his first Saintpaulias on only one square meter (10.76 square feet) of greenhouse space. After the war Hermann Holtkamp Sr. intensified his breeding efforts and by the early part of 1950's, the first real success gave the breeder hope for the plant's future. At the time, Mr. Holtkamp said that the African Violet would be the potted plant of the future. Our company grew many different crops, later to be replaced, one by one, by the African Violet. Reinhold Holtkamp, Sr., (right) serves as president with his wife Gisela Holtkamp, and his son, Reinhold, Jr., (left) as vice president of Optimara/Holtkamp Greenhouses. MAIN MENU Care Instructions Contact Us One of the most exciting breakthroughs in the research and development of the African Violet was in the early 1960's, with the introduction of the first non-dropping variety called Elfriede. Today all of Optimara Varieties and most all other competitive varieties available on the market have this characteristic.
ENH17/MG028: African Violets
The African violet (Saintpaulia species) is a popular houseplant that grows and flowers under light conditions found in the average home or under artificial light.
http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/mg028

Extractions: Sydney Park Brown The African violet ( Saintpaulia species) is a popular houseplant that grows and flowers under light conditions found in the average home or under artificial light. Many different varieties, types, and flower colors exist. For best growth and flowering, African violets require bright light (~1000 foot candles), but no direct sunlight. This is the amount of light within 3 feet of a southeast- or west- facing window. Lower light levels for longer periods of time are also adequate. The appearance of a plant will indicate whether light levels are too high, too low or just right. If light is too low, leaves are usually thin and deep green, and appear to reach up for light. The plants may grow, but will flower poorly or not at all. In such instances, supplemental artificial light will help promote flowering. Excessive light causes leaves to be pale or greenish-yellow. Some leaves may show dark green areas where they have been shaded by upper leaves. Growth slows when light is too high and plants become very compact. Flowering will also begin to decrease.
Questions On Violets

Extractions: Questions on: Violets Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have a local resident that has a question about her African violets. She transplanted them back in December 2005. Since then, the plant has not bloomed. She now has a few blooms on a couple of plants. She switched from well water to rain and snow water. While using well water, a crusty, white residue was appearing on the bottom of the pots. She is so frustrated that she admits to throwing away some of the plants. She is seeking your help before she throws all the plants out the door. (Griggs County, N.D.) A: She should not have used well water. African violets are raised on pure rainwater in their native setting, so she should stick to the rain or snow water to get the plants blooming again. She also needs a dose of patience. Blooming, which is the reproductive cycle of any plant, requires stored energy. Insufficient energy equals poor or no blooms. When they get to that point of sufficient energy and mild stress, they will bloom. African violets should not be thrown out the door, especially in North Dakota! Q: I have African violets that are doing well, but a few leaves are losing color and becoming white. There are no insect infestations and I do not think it is a fungus or mold. This has happened once before, but it went away. I would like to find out what causes the problem because the plants are very unattractive during this period. (e-mail reference)
