Watering African violets

African violets do not like to be water from the top. If you have one that is struggling, water it from the bottom by letting it sit in a tray with water for a while. Also, you can buy African violet pots. I got one at Walmart. They are two clay pots that sit in one another. The first one holds the plant and the second one holds a water reservoir. The one I use this with blooms about 9 months out of the year. I also use a violet fertilizer a few times a year.
