For some, winter can be a depressing time of year. With cold, dreary weather, shorter days, and less opportunity to spend time outside, it’s easy to become gloomy. That’s one of the reasons many people like to have houseplants in their homes. One of the most popular houseplants that can bring a little bit of color and cheer during long winter nights is the African violet (Saintpaulia ionantha).
This adorable little plant, with its bright purple blossoms and fuzzy leaves, is perfect for those who don’t mind a houseplant that can be a little picky. Once you get to know your African violet and what it likes, it can bless you with flowers year-round. With light trimming, the right amount of light, and careful watering, you can successfully grow and care for African violets in winter.
