Is it possible to give violets a shower: the opinion of experienced gardeners
Often, violet lovers believe that moisture getting on the leaves of the plant can harm the flower.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh shared her opinion on this matter.
To answer the question of whether it is possible to give Saintpaulias a shower, it is worth remembering the conditions in which they exist in nature.
Here, violets are often watered by tidal rains, so it should be assumed that spraying from a spray bottle or watering from a shower head, which will wash away the dust accumulated on the leaves, will only benefit the violets.
However, when carrying out even such a seemingly simple procedure, it is worth adhering to a number of rules.
Firstly, the water for bathing should be warm. Secondly, do not place pots with violets in drafts.
Finally, thirdly, try to keep the Saintpaulias out of direct sunlight until they are completely dry.
It is important to remember that it is not recommended to let water get on the flowers.
