What to do with a violet in the spring so that it blooms like crazy in the summer: simple truths
If the gardener plans to get maximum flowering of Saintpaulia in the summer months, he will have to work on this in the spring.
As the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained, in this case the plant is recommended to be replanted.
When performing this procedure, you will have to replace the root ball and get rid of the roots that have been damaged.
The next thing to do after replanting is to calculate the fertilizer calendar.
Please note: you should not “treat” the violet with nutrient solutions before replanting, this action simply will not have the desired effect.
The first time after transplanting, fertilizers are applied after at least a week, and ideally after three to four.
If this rule is neglected, it is quite possible that the violet will get an overdose of micro- and macroelements, since there are enough of them in fresh soil.
Finally, we will share one more trick for lush flowering. It consists in cutting off the first flower stalks. Pruning should be done when the flower stalks are just appearing - for standard violets, the appropriate size of flower stalks is up to 2 cm.
