Pink Bicolor African Violet Houseplant

The Pink Bicolor African Violet, part of the Saintpaulia family, is a charming and popular houseplant known for its delightful and vibrant flowers. This variety features beautiful pink blooms with bicolor patterns, often showcasing darker or lighter pink shades, and sometimes white edges. The plant forms a neat, compact rosette of soft, fuzzy leaves, which makes it an ideal choice for small indoor spaces like window sills or tabletops.

Troubleshooting tips for growing Pink Bicolor African Violet plants include looking for yellowing leaves. Yellowing or curling leaves can indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels dry and ensure good drainage. If your African Violet is not producing flowers, it might need more light. Place it in a location with bright, indirect sunlight.

Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that can occur in humid conditions. Ensure good air circulation around the plant and avoid wetting the leaves when watering. Aphids and mealybugs can occasionally trouble African Violets. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if pests are detected.
