Your violets are very beautiful. Would love to know what your conditions are like; eg what lights do you use? I'm new to the forum and have learnt a lot from reading the posts.
Thanks.

Joy - Thank you!
I use 2 T8 of fluorescent tubes, day light, for each shelf with 7-8 inches from the crown of the plants.
Actually half of the plants get light from the east and north clear glass windows-the plant stands are just right next to the windows. Only for east window, the blinders are flipped horizontally. It is equatorial here and the sunlight is very strong from dawn till 11 am. in the room.

Then do you even need artificial lights if the sun is so strong? I raise mine only with natural light. Although your plants are very evenly grown, judging from the photos you post on the Gallery.

The room that I keep AV has 2 and a half sides with full glass window from ceiling down to about 30 cm above the floor, I do not use any fluorescent light for AV on the shelves standing close to those windows.

Plants on the shelf standing by the solid walls, I am using 2 fluorescent tubes each shelf.

Hi and thank you for your response.
I too live in the tropics, Malaysia. I've learnt tons from reading all the posts here and various books on African violets. Unfortunately my conditions are not the same as most people here. Sometimes I get quite disappointed when my plants don't seem to be doing well and I don't know what to do but then I look at your plants and other growers from Singapore green culture (although their African violet forum has been very quiet lately) and I have hope that maybe I too can grow African violets in our climate. So thank you bloodyfrancois and thank you AV forum.
Joy.
