xOptiflora Optimara Violet Food — Premium Feeding for African Violets
Optiflora Optimara Violet Food is a fully-dissolving fertilizer crafted specifically for African Violets and other blooming houseplants. With a storied track record of award-winning performance, this formula blends precise nutrition with practical use that fits into regular watering routines and supports vibrant, long-lasting blooms.
Violets grown with Optimara Violet Food have earned more than 200 gold medals, including wins at the International Horticultural Competition. It is notable for being the exclusive fertilizer used by Holtkamp Greenhouses, the world’s largest grower of African Violets. The 14-12-14 balance is designed to support robust root growth, lush green leaves, and an extended flowering period, while avoiding root burn thanks to its zero-urea formulation.
The fertilizer is fully dissolving, so mixing is quick and clean. The package includes six individually pre-measured pouches, each weighing 2 grams. When diluted with one gallon of water, each packet yields a ready-to-use solution that creates a consistent nutrient concentration for regular watering. A word of caution: Violet Food can stain if it comes into contact with moisture, so handle the powder and bottles with dry hands and promptly wipe any damp surfaces.
