Repotted African Violets Not Blooming: Acclimation, Pot Size, and Patience

Karen repotted African violets 2 months ago into violet soil, gives morning sun, but no blooms. Can't use grow lights (dining area).

Post-Repot Acclimation

Violets often pause blooming after repotting—new environment, new soil, root disturbance. They "have a mind of their own."

Pot size: Don't over-pot. Violets bloom when slightly pot-bound. Only repot when literally bursting.
Light: Morning sun is correct. Consistency matters.
Moisture: Never dry. Consistent.
Humidity: Mist several times daily.
Fertilizer: Half-strength, every watering.

Once they "feel secure," buds appear suddenly in the crown. Then multiple blooms follow. The wait is worth it.
