Q. Do I have to fertilize my African Violets? How often?

A. Absolutely. The soiless potting mixes that are most commonly used today have no food value for the plant. Follow the instructions on the container. For African Violets - less is better than too much.
If your mixing your own potting mix and can only find a potting soil with fertilizer already added, then reduce the amount of fertilizer when you water.
