Houseplants need to be fed from time to time, but it is important to know when to stop.

An overfed plant is no better than one that is underfed.

Violets are especially sensitive to over-fertilization. The plant gives several signals that it is time to stop applying fertilizers.

For example, a violet grows well, it has many green leaves, but it still does not bloom without any apparent reason. This may be a consequence of an excess of nutrients.

It is also worth paying attention to the leaves of the flower. If they are pale and there are spots on them, then the problem is also in excess fertilizer. Another sign is rotting of the base of the violet.

The plant needs to be given a rest for several weeks. No additional fertilizers should be applied during this period. If the situation gets worse, the flower cannot be saved. But in most cases, the violet gradually recovers and blooms.
