Near a northerly or easterly facing window is a good place for them as any direct sunlight they receive will be early and not too intense, and as the day progresses there should be enough brightness to keep them happy. Regularly turning your pot around so the same side is not always facing towards the window is a good way of maintaining even growth all around your plant too, and this will help stop it reaching one way towards the light. Artificial lighting works well with African Violets too; fluorescent or LED lighting wil help supplement natural lighting if the perfect spot is not available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWATERING: Ensure the foliage of your plant is kept dry. African Violet leaves will rot or develop fungal spots if the plants are watered from overhead; we recommend carefully watering the soil only, or sit the pot in a few cm of water for half an hour or so to allow water to wick up through the potting mix. Do not allow these plants to become waterlogged as they will very quickly rot.
