Almost every apartment has houseplants. They make it easier to breathe indoors, clean the air, and also perform a decorative function, improving the appearance of the home.

Quite often, hobbyists choose violets for home cultivation. These small and beautiful plants can visually improve the living room, kitchen or office.

But at the same time, such flowers are quite capricious. Sometimes you have to wait a very long time for flowering.

There could be several reasons.

Lack of light. The optimal daylight hours for this flower are 12 hours.

The pot is too deep and wide. The diameter should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the leaf rosette.

Mistakes when watering. It is best to water violets in a tray with warm water.

Lack of fertilizers. Therefore, it is necessary to add products containing potassium and phosphorus.

Violets don't like low temperatures either. Optimally, 20-25 degrees.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account that a plant that is too young is unlikely to bloom. Violets bloom on average at the age of about 1 year, some earlier, some later, but it is necessary to understand that a lot also depends on the variety.
