Why a New African Violet Stopped Blooming After Purchase

Violet bought 1.5 months ago full of flowers; all died, no new buds. East window, bottom water 2x/week, drop of fertilizer each time. Leaves healthy, new growth. California, 75–85°F.

Fix (Mary Hill)

• Switch to constant feed: 1/4 tsp Peters African Violet Special (12-36-14) per gallon every watering.
• Water from top occasionally (alternating with bottom) — avoids salt buildup, adds air.
• Don't soak leaves when top-watering.
• Light and temperature sound fine.

Consistent weak feeding restores bloom cycle.
