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.

Great for a small puppy
Color: Pink
Got these for my puppy, a German shepherd, while it was functional, she loved it, as it was chewability, durability and ease of use.

Heartbeat didn't last!
Color: Pink
This is a nice cuddly puppy. Our dog loves this in her crate. The puppy and the blanket wash very well. The heartbeat lasted for a couple weeks only!

My puppy went right to sleep
Color: Neutral
With having a new baby puppy sometimes they can have anxiety leaving their mother and siblings behind. This helped my puppy so much with the transition from being with them to being by himself. This cute adorable plush puppy has a quiet heartbeat that soothes my puppy to sleep. It is well made and serves the purpose it was intended for. I also loved that this came with teething toys that my puppy loves to chew on and the blanket is super soft.

Helped our puppy settle in from the first night!
Color: Blue
We got this kit to welcome our 8 week old puppy. The warming packs work really well. Especially important since it was our puppy’s first time separated from him mom and littermates. The heartbeat is loud enough for us to hear at night but we got used to it. The Snuggle Puppy stays in his crate as his special companion and he snuggles like it’s one of his pack. Ahead of puppy’s arrival, we put one of my husband’s tshirts on the Snuggle Puppy to add his scent to it. I think that helped the transition, too. Luckily, this puppy doesn’t destroy stuffed animals. After 3 weeks all but the tongue are in tact. I’m not sure how long it would last if he was a destroyer. The toys are ok. The freezable teething heart is a hit. He has settled in to his nightly routine really well and gets excited to greet his pal!

Perfect puppy starter kit and gift! Perfect for plane rides and kennel!
Color: Neutral, Color: Neutral
Perfect puppy gift! We use the kennel as her safe haven, and for potty training . This heartbeat tool is amazing and helped our puppy get acclimated to her kennel. She goes into her kennel and sleeps with it on her own. It calmed her down on the plane completely. We had a 6-hour flight and she did fine with the heartbeat toy. At home innthe kennel, the whining was very very minimal the first couple days, then it stopped. As you would hear and see her snuggle up and fall asleep. I think it is a bit pricy, but not too bad for the benefit. The heartbeat is seperate and is putninside a pouch on the stuffed animal. The blanket is soft, beautiful and perfect size. Good quality fabric. Both chew toys were loved by her.I do notice my large breed puppy prefers the rope and small tennis ball type chew toys. However, she plays with these too. Haven't used the heating packs yet, they go inside the pouch with the heartbeat item. I am sure we will because my puppy does love to be in front of my small heater under my desk to keep my feet warm. The packaging was extremely nice and fancy and was complimentary to the items inside.
