We are all under the same stars... therefore we are never far apart.

Beautiful babies!! I am going to repot the leaves without spots and try to save them. How can I get my other av to bloom again? It was blooming when I bought it- it has new leaves ALL the time, but no blooms. It has been so long I have forgotten what color the blooms are!

Tonya are you using fertilizer???? Mine was blooming when I got it also and then when the blooms were gone..nothing, I bought african violet food, it was a liquid that you mix with water, I also moved mine from the window sill to florescent light and I saw a very dramtic change in the leaves, the color and texture which was alot nicer then when I obtained it, then it finally started forming buds, bloomed and just keeps getting buds under blooms. I have Schultz 8-14-9 African Violet Liquid plant food, it takes 1/8 tsp to a quart of water and I use it everytime I water which is about once every 7-10 days. But there are many other brands, which you really should switch brands occasionally also, since they are not all made the same. Feeding you AV plant will help it start blooming again.
