Kenyan violet outgrows pot during blooms

She outgrew her pot so fast, but her blooms won't pause long enough for me to upgrade her 😍🌸

These plants grow so surprisingly fast with the right conditions! When my partner gifted me one of these for Valentine’s Day, I can’t lie I was a little worried because it’s blooms were on their way out at the time and I read that these plants were so finicky and needed special treatment and yada ya…. But now it’s one of my favorite plants πŸ˜‡ yours is so beautiful with the purple flowers.
What a great pic! She’s beautiful 🀩
Wow! She’s amazing!! 🀩 Any special care secrets? I got mine from a grocery store in a little rough shape. Trying to revive it but it looks nowhere near as nice as yours πŸ‘
@EagerPhlox rbos was a rescue as well. I rescued two of them and really the only difference in conditions is that this one is in a glazed pot and the other is in terracotta. They are in almost the same windows, get water according to Greg, etc. 🀷🏽
@PlantMompy wow what a gorgeous violet. Well take care of. Great job Ashley.
@PlantMompy you are doing something right if she’s happy enough to bloom nonstop… upgrading her pot can wait… enjoy the flowers while they last🀩🀩🀩
@FirstCanna she gave me one pause and I was like "oh good, dormancy right before winter, I can wait until spring" and the next time I watered there were buds πŸ€¦πŸ½πŸ˜‚
@PlantMompy she loves youβ€¦πŸ˜Š
They bloom best when they ate pot bound. Show growers never go above a 4” pot for standards. I wouldn’t pot up, just repot for fresh soil.
Thanks, @PolishDill! One less thing on my to-do list!
