Everyone I have talked to that grows African Violets grows them a little differently . Tell us how you grow Yours and if there is a special reason why you do things ....

I grow mine in plastic pots.
I mostly use 4 foot shop lights because that's what I use in the bird room where they are used for decoration on top of the cages.I don't have much window space.
I am still playing with a good soil because I tend to over water...lol they get watered with the critters here...
(helps me remember)...yes I have fertilized a bird or too...lol
Some are wicked and some are on mats and some are top watered.....
