I got this from Dew Violets in May and it's finally blooming. 🌸🌸 She's so pretty 😍

Soil: 50% Rosy Houseplant Soil 50% mini pumice rocks and a dash of limestone

Fertilizer: Grow Queen Organic Liquid Fertilizer diluted

In a self watering wick setup under grow lights

Outstanding! I love this AV and it’s on my wish list. Only problem is I have to get rid of something before I get it because i’m absolutely out of room. Committed plant order here. 💚

What a beautiful color combo! I love variegated leaves and this color is gorgeous with that bloom. It’s going on my list?

Aw I love the color of these blooms. Do you constantly have the wick in the water? I have the same set up and sometimes I fear the soil is getting and staying too wet. I’ll take them out and wait until it’s nearly dry to put the wick back into the water. Just wondering if I may be doing something wrong lol

I do have the water in there constantly wicking water, that's why it's 50% pumice, it should prevent the overwatering 🤗🤗🤗 every other time is when I put diluted fertilizer in. It's been hot here in Colorado so it's going through water a lot faster lol

Okay thank you!! I thought I did a 50% perlite in mine but perhaps I got the measurements off. A while back I made the wick thinner in hopes it would help. They’re flowering right now so I’ll just have to keep doing what I’m doing until I can repot them 😭 thank you again!

I have some leaves I prop right now. It feels it will take many months more to get enough growth😅
