Good care will help violets remain attractive throughout the year and delight you with lush foliage and delicate, long-lasting flowering.
To keep your violet looking its best, use these tips to help keep your plant healthy and looking attractive for a long time.
Caring for violets
Any leaf that has dry edges or a stain should be removed.
Clean the leaves from dirt and dust using a soft brush or sponge. A dirty leaf cannot provide nutrition to the plant and will block sunlight.
Remove all old flowers, you won't need them unless you're saving seeds.
Watering violets
Water the plant once a week with ready-made fertilizer or one you make yourself.
However, do not overdo it, because violets do not tolerate excess water, otherwise they will quickly die.
Overwatering causes root rot and disease.
Sugar feeding
It is very easy to prepare a nutritious infusion from sugar, just dilute 1 tbsp. of the product in 1 liter of water and immediately water the plants. With such feeding, the violet will receive calcium, potassium, sodium, and vitamin B2.
Wood ash
Your green pets will love this simple fertilizer. To do this, pour 1 tbsp. of ash into 1 liter of hot water, leave for 7 days, shaking the solution periodically.
Watering with such fertilizer is carried out once every 10-14 days. Ash will bring calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and sodium to violets.
