African Violet Natural Potting Soil Mix (Made in USA) (4 Dry Quarts)

This African violet potting mix really delivers. I bought this mix for my fussy begonias. Begonias require moisture, but hate being soaked. I added perlite and worm castings to add better drainage and nutrients. My begonias are growing bigger, fuller and starting to get new buds. At the time of purchase, I thought the price was a little high, but after seeing the growth and overall performance of this potting mix, I believe it is worth every cent

The media could not be loaded. I impulsively bought an African violet from a big box store hoping I could keep it alive. I had never cared for one before, so I did some research on them, but kept it in the original soil. Unfortunately, after a few weeks the leaves began to wilt and the entire plant was floppy. I panicked, ordered this soil, but definitely thought it was too late. As soon as the soil came in, I repotted the violet. It had gotten some root rot so I cleaned the roots as well as I could, trimmed off the floppy leaves and hoped for the best. In no time at all, I had new growth, new flowers, and the plant had made a full recovery. The leaves I had trimmed off I propagated in the AV soil and now I have over thirty babies that are now growing their own blooms! This soil is absolutely amazing and I can’t say enough good things about it. It makes growing African violets easy for any level of plant parent.

This soil is perfect for self-watering clay pots. Never had any root rot with my AV's. Moisture is maintained evenly thruout the pot.

I took one star off: There is not enough perlite in this mix and it needs to be amended for African violets so water is not held onto (which causes root rot). That’s a definite CON, but the only one! I’d say PRO wise, it’s a good soilless mix and it has the necessary ingredients for an African violet mix. I feel the peat is a good quality and looks rich. Most mixes have a ton of clumps in them along with some twigs. This mix is no exception, but it’s so much less than others, I do sift it through a sand sifter to remove the clumps, and there is not much. This is a very good inorganic african violet mix and it’s not priced exceptionally high like many others. This is my stand by mix for my AV plants. I’d recommend to other AV growers!4/10/25….received my new order! Ordered the 8 qt.!

You can rest assured this is the correct soil for your african violet. I had mine in another soil and I could tell it was struggling. Figuring I had nothing to lose I gave this one a shot. Boy am I glad I did! It perked up within a few days and is thriving.

African Violet potting soil looked good. Plenty of perlite. So far my new African violets are loving it.

This is a good quality and easy to use potting soil and the price is fair.

Perfect light soil with good drainage that holds plenty of water.
