African Violet - more questions...

Hi Everyone, 

Thanks for all your kind words and advice.  

To save time (a precious commodity these days), I am consolidating the questions and answers I had for you all:

Julie:  Thanks. Where can I find information on the gesneriphiles email list?
Steve: Thanks for the Congrats!!  
Ranjit: Thanks for the Welcome!! And Welcome to you too!
Peggy:  Hello fellow-Bostonian! Looking forward to the snow?????

OK, here's where I divulge how much of a novice I really am...I had heard that African Violets do well under artificial light - so I had it on my desk at work.  I brought it home when I changed jobs.  So my first question is...is that true?  What kind of light do they need and how much?

Also, I have been feeding it with a product called Miracle Gro Liquid.  What kind of fertilizer should I be using?  How often should I water it?

I just recently re-potted it into a bigger pot because the roots were coming out the bottom.  The pot is a little bigger than the plant (a couple of inches).   Are A.V.'s better in a smaller pot?   I had heard that about Spiders.

Did I miss anything? Thanks again for all your help! 
Gina

Hi Gina, 

African violets will bloom year round in the proper enviroment.  Yours
is probably not getting enough light and/or fertilizer.  If you are
interested in african violets you can join the gesneriphiles email list.
I have found alot of great information there.
