Question 3

How long will these take to flower please?

Accepted Answer

This question does not have a definitive answer - they could take a month or two, or it could be six months or more - it depends on the size of the plant when it arrives and its growing conditions.
Dibleys (the actual supplier) supply small plants that are not likely to flower for some time - that's assuming that they survive.
Don't let me put you off - African Violets (Saintpaulia) are a bit tricky to grow but are well worth the effort - don't over water, but don't under water - water them, FROM THE BOTTOM, when the top of the compost is dry - don't get water in the crown of the plant.  They like good light but not full sun.  The labels that come with the plant have brief instructions.
I don't like the peat plugs in which the plants are growing when they arrive - these days I remove the outer fabric and very carefully - keeping the crown dry - wash off the peat, then plant in good compost keeping the crown just clear of the compost.  Ignore this last bit if it sounds too complicated or try it with two or three of the plants and not with the rest - see which do best.
One final things, be prepared for losses, but this is the case with all plants - take a look at Dibleys website, they have advice on growing Saintpaulia and a very exciting range of plants.
