How to Use Black Gold Natural & Organic African Violet Potting Mix 0.04-0.02-0.02

• Choose Container: Choose a container slightly larger than the old. Make sure it has drainage holes and a bottom saucer to catch water. Cover large drainage holes with a piece of screen or pebble layer for mix retention.
• Transfer: Carefully tip and remove the plant from its old container, keeping its root ball intact. If plants are pot-bound, gently loosen the roots for better soil-to-root contact.
• Planting: Add a layer of mix at the bottom of the new container. Center the plant, and fully cover the roots with fresh mix, leaving a 1-inch space at the top for watering. Gently press the mix down and brush excess away from stems or leaves.
• Watering & Feeding: African violets dislike wet leaves, so water below the leaves or bottom water until the saucer is filled. Monitor soil-moisture levels, and water again when mix feels dry to a 1-2-inch depth. Feed plants regularly with a fertilizer formulated for African violets. Follow manufacturer's recommendations.
• Growing Environment: For best African violet performance provide bright indirect light, 50-60% room humidity, and temperatures close to 70° F. Place plants away from vents or fans that generate dry air.
