Question Is it okay to repot my African Violet when it is in full bloom?
Answer Yes, you can repot even though the violet is blooming. We prefer to take off blooms after repotting so the strength goes to making roots and not for keeping up the flowers and producing more flowers. But you can still do this.
The plant may show a slight shock after repotting.
