or, by adjusting your Venetian blinds, or by drawing a plain marquisette 
curtain across the window to reduce the rays of the Sun. Another pre- 
cautionery measure is to never water your Violets from the top when they 
are Setting in the Sun. This too will cause leaf spot and spoil the beauty 
of your plant, if any water happens to rest on the leaves. 
Placing plants in a window that is surrounded by heavy shrubbery, or 
large shade trees, is by far not desirable. This would tend to reduce 
the necessary amount of light for the plants, and could cause a lack of 
bloom. The preferred amount of light for the Saintpaulia in the home is 
from 600 to 800 candlepower.
