How to look after violet

Violet – gentle plant which rainbow of colors knows no limit. This flower will become fine decoration of the house. But that it long was pleasing to the eye, it is necessary to look after him correctly.

It is required to you

  • flowerpot with a diameter of 10 cm, the earth for violets (saintpaulias), fertilizer for the blossoming plants, water

Instruction

1. Fragile roots of violet need the friable, air soil. It is possible to use purchased mix for violets (saintpaulias) or to mix the earth with peat concerning 2:1.

2. The pot is chosen as small, for average violet enough with a diameter about 10 cm. In big tanks the violet will not blossom, and in too small there will be no conditions for its normal development. We put drainage on bottom of pot - 3-4 cm of haydite.

3. Watering of violet is carried out only in pallet. Watering the earth from above, there is risk to bring moisture more, than it is necessary that will lead to rotting and death of plant. We water at full drying of earth lump, approximately once a week. If the flower has lowered leaves, then, most likely, it needs water.

4. It is possible to carry out periodic washing of violet under shower. The pressure has to be quite weak not to break leaves. Do not expose wet violet on window at all, under sunshine – water will focus them as lens, and the flower will get severe burns.

5. Make multiple copies violet leaves or sockets. The leaf needs to be separated from plant and to thrust in capacity with the earth or to put in bank with water so that the surface of leaf did not get to water, only shank. Both ways are successfully applied by flower growers. The violet begins grow from below, from shank therefore the zavyadshy leaf is not symptom of death of plant. Sockets are formed in pot of maternal plant and look as quite independent plant. Having accurately separated the socket, not damaging roots, it is replaced in separate pot.
