    African violets need between 929-1115 lumens of light, or 10,000-12,000 lux, to bloom. They require red light for blooming and blue light for photosynthesis and leaf growth. Grow lights should be mounted 18-20 inches above standard African violets and 10-12 inches above miniatures. Saintpaulia plants need a minimum of 5,000 lux of light for 12 hours to flower, with older plants requiring 10,000-15,000 lux and younger plants needing 5,000-8,000 lux, while less than 5,000 lux will prevent flowering.

    An African Violet only needs about 929 - 1115 lumens, 10,000 to 12,000 lux.

    Red light is essential for African Violets to bloom. Blue light is necessary for photosynthesis to occur and, thus, is vital for the development of green leaves and the production of plant carbohydrates. grow lights should generally be mounted 18 to 20 inches above the tops of standard African Violets. For miniatures, grow lights may need to be lowered to about 10 to 12 inches above the tops of the plants.

    In technical terms, to flower, the Saintpaulia needs from 5000 to 13,000 lux for about 12 hours. One lux is an abbreviation for Lumens per square meter. An old plant needs between 10 000 and 15 000 lux to be comfortable. A young plant needs less light is from 5 000 to 8000 lux. If a plant has less than 5000 lux, it will stay in the vegetative stage.
