To grow new African violets, use a sterile knife and cut off a healthy leaf as near the base as possible. Dip the stem in rooting hormone then push it through a piece of paper and place the stem in water until it develops roots.

    My african violets are all healthy. real pretty and green. Started them from a leaf from another plant from a friend. Had them almost a year and they have not bloomed. Have them in bright light (not direct sun), only fertilize them once a month with a liquid fertilizer. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong for them not to bloom.
    Thanks
