Nourish Your African Violets with Precision

ChemPak African Violet Fertiliser is expertly formulated to meet the unique nutritional needs of Saintpaulia, commonly known as African violets. This water-soluble fertiliser features a high phosphate ratio (12:36:14), delivering the right balance for strong root systems and an abundance of colourful blooms.

• Botanical Focus: Designed specifically for African violets, which thrive in small pots and often under indoor or low-light conditions.
• Growth Benefits: High phosphate content encourages robust root growth, while added trace elements keep leaves healthy and vibrant.
• Fast Absorption: The water-soluble formula ensures your plants receive nutrients quickly and efficiently with every feed.

How to Use & Care Tips

• Dilution: Simply dissolve one scoop (5g/5ml) per litre of water.
• Feeding Schedule: Apply every two weeks during active growth periods (spring through autumn). Reduce frequency in winter when growth slows.
• Light Requirements: African violets prefer bright, indirect sunlight or artificial grow lights. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.
• Soil & Watering: Use a well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix. Water from below to avoid wetting leaves, which can cause spotting.
• Potted Plant Care: Repot annually to refresh soil and encourage healthy roots. Remove faded blooms to promote new flowers.

Add Colour Indoors All Year Round

• Blooming Period: With the right care, African violets can flower almost continuously indoors.
• Companion Ideas: Pair with other shade-loving houseplants like Streptocarpus or ferns for a lush indoor display.
• Perfect For: Windowsills, office desks, or anywhere you want lasting colour and easy-care beauty.
