Violet leaves will turn into "rags": every second gardener makes these mistakes

The violet will turn into a pale imitation of a gorgeous flower if you make at least one of these mistakes.

Saintpaulia leaves should be directed upwards, they should be dense and elastic to the touch.

If the green mass looks like a limp "rag", then the grower has made a serious mistake. But it is very easy to fix the problem.

Watering

You need to water the violet carefully so that the water falls only on the soil, and not on the stems and leaves.

Saintpaulia does not like when moisture accumulates on the green mass. Flowers suffer even more, they will quickly fall off if water gets on them.

Pot size

Experienced gardeners claim that violets do not need large pots. The container should be only 1-2 cm larger than the root system.

Draft

If the violet is withering and dropping its leaves, does not bloom and turns yellow, then perhaps the problem is hypothermia. Saintpaulia is afraid of drafts and low temperatures.
