Violets, known for their abundant flowering, can delight the eye all year round with proper care.
Providing optimal conditions and proper care will encourage continuous flowering of this plant.
Violets love dim light. They will feel best near windows facing east or west.
If they are exposed to direct sunlight, the leaves may get burnt. Therefore, it is worth using light curtains to create partial shade.
The optimal temperature for violets is 20–24°C. Sudden temperature changes and drafts have a negative effect on their condition.
Air humidity should be moderate; if the air is dry, it is recommended to use humidifiers or place containers of water near the plant.
Watering violets should be done as the top layer of soil dries out, avoiding over-watering and stagnant water.
It is better to use settled water at room temperature. To stimulate flowering, regular feeding with special fertilizers for violets containing phosphorus and potassium is recommended, every two weeks during the period of active growth.
Annual replanting of violets into fresh substrate promotes their health and abundant flowering.
It is best to replant in the spring, using a light, breathable soil mixture specially designed for violets.
Timely removal of faded flowers and damaged leaves stimulates the formation of new buds and maintains the decorative appearance of the plant. It is recommended to trim with a sterile tool to avoid infection.
During the winter months, when natural light is insufficient, it is recommended to use phytolamps to provide violets with the necessary daylight hours (10–12 hours). This will help maintain their flowering even during the short winter days.
