Exacum affine ‘Persian Violet'

A charming flowering plant native to Socotra, an island famous for its unique botanical diversity. This compact beauty produces masses of vibrant purple, lavender, or white star shaped blooms, often paired with a sweet fragrance that adds extra appeal indoors. Its lush green foliage and colorful blossoms make it a wonderful choice for bright spaces, gift giving, or anyone seeking a cheerful flowering houseplant with exotic roots.

🌞 Light
Bright, indirect light is best for healthy growth and continuous blooming. Gentle morning sun is beneficial, but avoid strong afternoon sunlight.

💧 Watering
Keep soil lightly and evenly moist, but not soggy. Persian Violet prefers consistent moisture and may decline if allowed to dry out completely.

🕳️ Soil
Use rich, well draining potting soil that retains some moisture while allowing airflow around the roots.

🧪 Fertilizing
Feed every 2 to 4 weeks during active growth and blooming season with a balanced flowering plant fertilizer.

🪴 Repotting
Repot only if necessary, as Persian Violet is often grown as a seasonal plant. If kept long term, refresh soil annually.

🐾 Toxicity
Non Toxic.
