Begin repotting by letting the plant slightly dry out, then lift the plant from the inner pot. Throw away any loose soil and perlite left in the liner, then use a stiff, dry brush to clean the insert. Scrub the inside of the liner again with the brush, rinse thoroughly in fresh water and let dry. When dry repot the plant as described earlier. The completed repotting ready for display.
Ceramic pots are available in a wide variety of styles and colors from several sources.
They can enhance the health of your plant by providing more even watering without the back and forth between wet and dry that the plant experiences with top or bottom watering methods. Be sure to take into consideration the final look you want to achieve. The pot should be used to complement and draw attention to the plant not overwhelm the visual effect. After all, it's that beautiful African Violet that we spend so much time and effort cultivating, always striving for our own brand of perfection.
