Wild violets can often be seen in fields, forests or on mountain tops.
ADVICE.NEWS told you what to do if you want to acquire these lovely plants to grow on your plot.
Growing and care
The traditional option is sowing directly into the soil in the fall. Freshly harvested violet seeds are sown at a shallow depth, and the crops are mulched with peat or dry leaves on top. The shoots appear in the spring, as soon as the soil warms up, and they develop quite quickly.
Transfer
If you notice that your violets have started to wither, you can save the plants by replanting them and completely replacing the soil.
The flower is taken out of the pot, the roots are cleaned of old soil, removing rotten ones, the flower stalks and lower leaves are torn off. The cuts must be treated with charcoal.
For a planned transplant, the soil should only be partially renewed.
Watering
Wild violets are plants that can be called quite drought-resistant, but in hot weather they should be spared and definitely watered.
These plants love fertilizing with fermented grass, but they do not like manure.
These delicate, charming flowers tolerate unpredictable winters without shelter well; they are not afraid of frosts without snow, rain at the end of December, or spring frosts.
