Saintpaulia, commonly known as African violet, is one of the most popular flowering houseplants, which needs a proper cultivation to improve vegetative and reproductive growth. It has been proved that the application of complete fertilizer, a proper beddingand the use of proper nutrition has resulted in better growth and better flowering for most plants.In order to grow better, a separate experiment was conducted to investigate factors affecting the growth and flowering of this plant. In this experiment, three levels of nutrition were tested (solid fertilizer (NPK) 20:20:20, solid phosphorous fertilizer 13:40:13 and liquid fertilizer (NPK) with the ration of 20.6:7.7:7.7). The whole experiments were carried out as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized factorial design with 5 replications. Most ofthe measured traits were significantly affected by the treatments of these three experiments.
