What is the best way to get my african violets to bloom again?

They were in bloom when i bought the plant, but now they are not showing any signs of new buds.What is the best way to get my african violets to bloom again?
Put them on a schedule of 12 hr or light and 12 hr of darkness. Water only when top half inch of soil is dry and never leave water in saucer. Ten minutes after watering it dump the saucer water if any. Twice a month you can use a liquid fert that has a higher middle number (P) than the first an last numbers. For example 10-15-10. (This is just an example--it doesn't have to be those exact numbers.) That should get them blooming.What is the best way to get my african violets to bloom again?
repot and /or fertilise with potassium
Depends where you have it. It should be on a window sill (inside) and getting morning sun only.) Is it too dry, or is it too wet. (never water from the top) sit pot in saucer of gravel, with water in the saucer. Talk nicely to the plant.(it works!) African violets have their own particular type of fertiliser, look for it in the garden shop of your supermarket etc. and maybe give it a feed.!
