The Saintpaulia Silver-City Rotterdam, also known as the African Violet, is a beautiful flowering plant that is sure to add a touch of elegance to any room. Its single flowers have a stunning blue-dark violet blue color, making it a standout in any garden or indoor space.

One of the notable features of this African Violet is its leaf margin, which is described as entire and erose. This means that the edges of the leaves are smooth and slightly wavy, giving them a unique and attractive look. The leaves themselves are oval or elliptic in shape and have a dark green color that contrasts beautifully with the vibrant blue flowers.

The African Violet is a compact plant, reaching a height of only 5 to 10 cm. With a plant diameter ranging from 20 cm to 25 cm, it is perfect for small spaces or as a centerpiece on a tabletop. Despite its small size, the flowers have a diameter of 4 to 4.5 cm, which is impressive for a plant of this stature.

When it comes to the leaves, they are relatively wide, measuring between 5 and 7.5 cm in width. The leaf size matches the width, ranging from 5 to 7.5 cm in length. The dark green color of the leaves serves as a backdrop to showcase the stunning blue flowers, creating a visually striking display.

The African Violet Silver-City Rotterdam has a unique flower color distribution called marginate. This means that the flowers have a blue-dark violet blue color that is concentrated along the edges or margins of the petals. This creates a beautiful contrast between the vibrant blue and the lighter color of the petals' center, resulting in a visually appealing flower.

To care for the African Violet Silver-City Rotterdam, it is important to provide it with the right conditions. It thrives in bright, indirect light, so placing it near a north or east-facing window is ideal. The plant prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering should be avoided, as it can lead to root rot.

With its stunning blue flowers, compact size, and unique leaf characteristics, the African Violet Silver-City Rotterdam is a must-have for plant enthusiasts. Whether you choose to grow it indoors or outdoors, this plant is sure to bring beauty and elegance to any space. So why not add a touch of color to your life with this gorgeous African Violet?
