Is it safe to use on African Violets?

Should be fine. I found it was even safe on gnats, since it killed nothing and repelled nothing.

I used it on mine and it was absolutely fine. African violets dont like to have their leaves wet, so be careful to only get it on the dirt. I think mine bloomed more after I used the Gnatrol, but that may have been because its roots were no longer being attacked by the larvae...

That is what I used it on Anne. I got fungus gnats from a soil I used and it was crazy! Never having dealt with them before I thought they were fruit flies until I read up about them. My violets were fine after I used it. I also used fly strips.

No. Imagine contains Imazaquin. To kill wild violets you need a product that contains Triclopyr. Wild Violets are best controlled in the fall. Southern Ag Brush Killer has what you want. http://www.southernag.com/lg_herbicides.html Do not confuse the name Brush Killer for being hard on lawns. Applied at the label rates it is safe for use on lawns. Most granular weed and feeds will either contain Triclopyr or Dicamba in addition to 2,4-D. Triclopyr can be hard on Southern type turfs like Centipede and St Augustine. If you have a Southern turf you should use a product with Dicamba in it instead.

Sorry, not sure - I used it on plans to fight bugs but didn't achieve positive result. Seems that also killed the blooms. I had lots of problems with ants during the summer - seems that nothing worked at home till I found their nest outside and killed them there. I'd not advise diluting at all.

I have never had bugs on my African Violets. I wouldn't use these -- they're too heavy duty. Use plain food spikes instead. Keep the violets moist but not wet and pick off old or bad leaves and you shouldn't have issues.

Wild violets are very hard to control their not much you can do to get rid of them but using a triclopyr weed control product that has ingredient in it would help it get under control but wild violets are very hard to get rid of but if you find a product that has triclopyr in it is your best shot at getting it under control

I have six 6-8" pots on four shelves with no problems. Some of my African violets have grown so much that they need a shelf of their own!

you could simply use something like ivory liquid but I recommend using a surfactant specifically for use on plants

I honestly don't know. It works well for my flowers, but I have no vegs/herbs to try it on. Depending on what you are trying to kill, and if you want to stick to household items, you could try a heavy mixture of liquid dish soap and water in a mist spray bottle. I know this works well for ants (it plugs their trachea tubes - they cannot breath). Sorry - wish I could help.

no, not if you mix at the recommended rate on the label. This will work very well and take out the violet, just do not use the higher rates needed for woody brush, or you will hurt your lawn grasses.

I've put the violet in my hair and, for some reason, mine transferred onto everything every time it was wet. I even used the Ion color lock conditioner, tried the new nexxus color primer before washes, pureology for color-treated shampoo, but nothing would keep this stuff from turning everything purple. You may end up with a little magenta water around you if your color is anything like mine was. :(

I would not use these on a plant not infested, especially a delicate African Violet. I was advised by a plant store to routinely repeat the treatment, since it is a six foot ficus and there is a very high chance of reinfestation. Check with Bayer, 1-877-229-3734 or www.BayerAdvanced.com.

Yes it is safe to use. I use this product for my LCDs screens, it's so good, just make sure you read the instructions if you decide to buy it!

it's pretty much use as needed.. generally speaking.. follow the directions on the bottle.. check your local nursery for what to do when your plants have the blight..

I am an herbologist and make a variety of different items that include tinctures, essential oils and natural oils. I have never had a problem with any of them. I have never used lye or citric acid though so I dont know how they would work.

It's safe for the plants. However, I think I would err on the side of caution and not use it when the berries are fruiting.
