Time to Repot?

Ideally, African violets should be repotted at least once a year.  Repotting twice or 3 times a year is best.  It may be a matter of just changing the soil and using the same size pot.  To determine the correct size pot, the guideline is that the diameter of the pot should be 1/3 the diameter of the plant.  AVs like to be tight in the pot. 

If going to a larger pot is necessary, only go up one pot size at a time.  Your plant will not bloom until the roots touch the edges of the pot.  So, when in doubt, opt for the smaller size pot.
