Lin, remember first that I know nothing except by trial and error....I use Schultz liquid African Violet Plus (8-14-9) that I got at either Lowes or Wally World. It says to measure 7 drops to a quart of water. I just take a 2 quart pitcher and empty the dropper twice which is over a half full and less than 3/4 full . I always start with pretty warm water from the tap. Who knows, they may quit blooming, but they seem to like it!!!??????
This pic is really blurry, but all the AV's have this many blooms on them. I do confess that I keep them under shelves which each have one gro light attached to the bottom of each shelf keeping them probably warmer and more light than those sitting in windows??????????
