Violets are a great decoration not only for apartments, but also for offices. Many people love these plants not only for their beautiful bloom, but also for their ease of care.

However, if you violate simple care rules, the flowers may get sick.

For example, the plant can be affected by powdery mildew. It is noticeable even to the naked eye - the foliage is covered with a coating that resembles flour. It is possible and necessary to fight the problem.

Violets need to be treated with a fungicide.

Spots may also appear on the leaves. They are caused by water droplets.

Also, the cause of spots can be direct sunlight, which provokes the appearance of a burn.

Therefore, it is necessary to remove excess moisture from the leaves, ensure that drops do not fall on the flowers themselves, and also place the flowerpots in places where they will be protected from drafts and direct sunlight.

Maintaining moderate soil moisture is also important for the health of the plant. When the violet begins to wither and the roots rot, this indicates constant overwatering.
