Walaikumassalam Adnan,

Welcome to the forum. Hope we all will learn from your growing experiences, do share with us and if you need discussion on any topic feel free to ask questions. We will be waiting for your plants pictures.

Welcome Adnan.

African violets have always fascinated me.I wish I could grow some of those but zone 10 b is too harsh on them.

I love African violets specially the double blues but we in plains can not grow them.they are not fit in our climate.

This is photo of my Africn Violet last year, it has to be kept indoors during summer, now iam struggling to keep it in good health.

They have better chances in karachi than lahore as the humidity plays a major role in growth of african violets.

Welcome to the forum.
