No. As they reach adolescence, these two plants will fight. Especially if there
are 2 alpha males in the group.

i wouldnt reccommend it becuase orcids need to be watered much more than
violets. african violets are easily overwatered.

No. Orchids need to be planted in special gravel because they are air plants.
So a google search and you will be surprised.African violets need special soil
and a different method of watering. Do a google search for the planting and
care of African violets.

Answer #4
no orchids do not grow in soil of any kind mostly an orchid medium, such as
bark for orchids and African violets use a special soil just for them. Also you
will need an orchid pot.to grow them in ,so to let air move through.Orchids do
not like to be over watered they can live on high levels of humidity in
tropical forest they cling to trees.
