Can African violets receive strong sunlight?
The native environment of African violets is under trees in the high mountains, where the climate is stable and cool, and the sun falls on the leaves after being filtered by the leaves. Therefore, the cultivation of African violets must take into account its own characteristics and should not be regarded as general flowers and plants.
Most flowers need more than 4 hours of direct sunlight every day to blossom. But African violets are a rare exception. If you put them in front of a window in direct sunlight, the leaves will either be withered or they will not blossom. Because African violets have been growing in an environment without direct sunlight for generations, it can only carry out normal photosynthesis when the luminosity is weak, and indirect sunlight is its ideal luminosity.
In addition, the recent light outside the window will make the side of the plant facing the light particularly luxuriant, so the position of the flowerpot should be often turned so that the whole plant can grow evenly, grow symmetrical leaves, and stimulate early flowering.
