Fafard African Violet Potting Mix is specially designed to meet the delicate needs of plants in the Gesneriaceae family, such as African violets, Streptocarpus, Episcia, and Gloxinia. These plants require well-draining soil and a light texture that promotes air circulation around their fine roots. This Fafard potting mix offers a blend rich in organic matter, with optimal aeration and water retention, ensuring healthy growth and abundant flowering.

Why choose Fafard African Violet Potting Mix?

  • Specific formulation: Ideal for African violets and other Gesneriaceae.
  • Light texture: Promotes root development and nutrient absorption.
  • Optimal drainage: Prevents root rot by ensuring proper water flow.
  • Rich in organic matter: Provides essential nutrients for vigorous growth.
  • Superior aeration: Allows for adequate air circulation around the roots.
  • Balanced water retention: Maintains consistent moisture without excess.
  • Adapted to fine roots: Does not compress the delicate roots of African violets.

Directions for optimal results:

  1. Potting/Repotting: Choose an appropriately sized pot with drainage holes.
  2. Pot preparation: Place a small amount of potting mix at the bottom of the pot.
  3. Plant placement: Place the African violet in the center of the pot and add potting mix around it, leaving a space of about 2 cm between the surface of the potting mix and the pot's rim.
  4. Light tamping: Lightly tamp the potting mix around the plant.
  5. Watering: Water moderately until water drains from the drainage holes.
  6. Care: Avoid overwatering and allow the potting mix to dry slightly between waterings.

Understanding the Formulation

Fafard African Violet Potting Mix is a carefully balanced blend of sphagnum peat moss, perlite and/or vermiculite, and other organic matter. Sphagnum peat moss retains moisture while ensuring good aeration, while perlite and/or vermiculite improve drainage and the lightness of the mix. This combination creates an ideal environment for the fine and delicate roots of African violets and other Gesneriaceae.

I liked them, toddler did not
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Navy
I thought these were cute shoes. They were sturdy, protective, and flexible for little walkers. And they were pretty soft on the inside to wear without socks. Unfortunately, my two year old did not agree. He cried "don't like it" and immediately ripped them off every time I tried them on him. Maybe it's just my picky son. TTS/half size big.

Great looking shoe!
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Tan, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Tan
We got these sandals specifically for our Caribbean vacation over thanksgiving break. They run true to size but I did get them one size bigger to hopefully last for next summer as well. They look great on and go with everything! My son said they feel very comfortable on his feet and he likes easy on/off due to Velcro closure.

cute and durable
these are great fit and quality. Very easy for on and off. good for wide toddler feet. my son loved them so much he melted down when they no longer fit - wish they made them in larger sizes. they held up well. only thing that fell apart after several uses was the lining on the sole peels out and has to be repositioned to stay in place when putting the shoe on.

Slightly Questionable
I really like the design of these shoes and the large toe box area. I did a lot of research on quality shoes for waterplay and these ones stuck out to me. However, my son seemed very irritated by these shoes as they would leave prints on his inner foot. He seemed very uncomfortable while wearing these shoes. My son never has clothing/shoe sensory problems, but for some reason these shoes did it for him. Unfortunately, we no longer have them due to them being uncomfortable and causing red marks.
