Where to put a violet: a comprehensive answer
For successful cultivation of violets, the location of the flower pot is of no small importance.
According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , Saintpaulia should be placed on the windowsill or in close proximity to the window.
To ensure that the rosette is formed symmetrically, do not forget to turn the plant in one direction by 45 degrees. This should be done approximately twice a week.
Don't forget - the delicate leaves of violets cannot stand direct sunlight, preferring diffused light.
In this regard, a suitable window would be one that faces east, west or north. In the same case, if there is no choice, you will have to shade the plant during the spring and summer months.
Light curtains and blinds made of paper or bamboo are the best choice for this purpose. Metal ones should be avoided - due to heating, they turn into a kind of battery.
In addition, parchment paper or sunscreen film can be used for shading.
They should be used to cover about a third of the window in spring and summer and removed in September.
