    How much sunlight do African Violet plants need?
    The general rule is to supply plants with 10-12 hours of strong light each day. In their natural habitat, African violets are protected by forest tree canopy. As a result, they need filtered sunlight during the brighter summer months. During winter months when the sunlight is weaker, plants may benefit from light derived from southern exposure.
