Tips on growing African violets?

[camille1585]

Thank you all for your help. I have peat based substrate, vermiculite and perlite, so I should be able to make a suitable mix when the time comes to pot up the baby plants.

I didn't know they were heat intolerant, so it will be interesting to see what happens if we get another heatwave, where temps in our appartment can reach 30-32°C. I know that my grandmother's plants often experienced a few weeks of such temperatures in the summer, but they didn't seem to suffer too much.
