Hi there,

Just wondering what type of fertilizer everyone uses and the pros and cons.

I have used Granny's Bloomers and really am quite happy with it. I garden under lights and daylight.

Thanks,

Joanne

Eleanors VF-11 is pretty popular around here. I use that and good ol Schultz, but I'm weaning off othe Schultz as VF-11 wants to work alone.

I like Optimara 14-12-14 Violet Food and the Optimara 20-5-10 Plant Food . This I like for leaves down and babies ..
I also like Peter's Violet fertilizer. ( Someone said they were going to stop making it >???)
You want to make sure they contain no Urea which is bad for African violets tender root system.
I like Eleanor's VF-11 and if using this VF-11 likes and works best alone !

Wow! This is great, thanks so much for the response.

Next question is, where can I get Eleanors VF-11 in Canada.

DId you try their web site? You can email her directly to see if they ship.

I did go to the website but the number doesn't work in Canada so I emailed them but have not heard back yet...so I am hoping they will get back to me.

Thanks again!

Joanne
