How much to use:

  • Select a container that is larger than your plants current pot, and has a drainage hole at the bottom with the tray beneath it to catch excess water.
  • To prevent soil from escaping, add a layer of small stones to the bottom of the container.
  • Fill container 1/3 full with Espoma Organic African Violet Mix.
  • Carefully remove the plant from its current container and gently loosen the root ball.
  • Center the plant in the new container and fill it with additional potting mix.
  • Allow at least 1 inch between the rim of the pot in the top of the soil.
  • Gently pat down the next and add more if required. Make sure the plant is about the same depth in the soil as it was in the original container.
