When breeding violets novice growers face a number of difficulties.The thing is that unlike most indoor plants violet - a relatively gentle flora.What you need to do and take into account that it is at home blooming almost year-round - the theme of this article.

Conditions of violets

Soil

He must pass through the well water itself.On sale is a special soil mixtures for violets.But some growers, growers of this flower the first year, preparing the ground for its own recipes.For example, the ground is purchased «Terra Vita», under which laid charcoal (small piece).

Pot

It should be small, otherwise flowering can not be.For young violets enough even a plastic cup.Since it is not strongly grows in height, the size of the flowerpot acceptable for adult plants are: height - about 10 cm in diameter - about 12 - 15 cm (in the middle).

Feature - one must have in the bottom of the pot a few drainage holes to provide good, uniform flow of water.

Illumination

When choosing a place will have to consider as "anywhere" to develop and violet will not bloom.She needs some light, or even many, but not direct, and diffuse.That is why the window sills are considered the best for her windows facing north or north-west.

But this is not always possible, so do so - make artificial shading segment, which is the flower.If there are shutters on the windows, then the problem is automatically removed.And if they do not have to take care of, for example, sliding curtains.

Temperature

Under this item, any special requirements not.For the normal development of violets enough normative ambient temperature (about 22 ± 2 ° C).If the flower is located near the heat-generating appliances (on a window sill), the heating period will have to organize more frequent watering.

Humidity Dry air violet contraindicated.For its optimal level of humidity in the range 65 - 75%.Since spraying desirable plants, it is advisable to increase the water vapor saturation of the air next to the pot put a small container of water (eg, glass).These fumes will be quite enough.

Any if it complies with the requirements listed above.

Watering

Failure of his regime - one of the main reasons why not violet blooms and even killed.Therefore, this item is discussed in detail.Watering should be moderate, but regular.Excess moisture, as well as its lack of equally destructive for violets.It is advisable to monitor the condition of the soil in a flowerpot on a daily basis, especially since it does not require any significant time.Experience shows that if a flower is set on the windowsill, it is enough to water about once every 6 - 8 days.

Note!Drooping leaves - a sign of a lack of moisture in the soil.

Feature - experienced growers recommend practicing at home "bottom" watering.What it is?Take any clean dishes (for example, a plastic bowl with high sides), which is filled with water.To the liquid do not have any special requirements - pure, room temperature and the supernatant (i.e. without chlorine).

filling is made with the expectation that after installation in the pot container with violet water level (and it will rise) was just below the edge of the pot, but slightly above the ground level in it.This optimum conditions for good capillary penetration of liquids into the soil underneath.

In this position, the flower and left indefinitely.Water itself will gradually penetrate inside through the drainage holes.How to determine the sufficiency of the watering, when to finish it?According to the state of the soil.If it is all wet top, over the entire area, it is possible to terminate the procedure.Pot is removed and apply on the window sill.

What to consider:

Recommendation - a prospect to keep in the house (especially in apartment) whole battery of bottles or plastic bucket "reserve" of water few people are comfortable with.If the evening to pour into the basin of water, given the large area of ​​evaporation through 6 - 7 hours chlorine evaporate.Therefore, right from the morning, you can carry out the procedure violets watering.Or vice versa - to collect before going to work, and in the evening for half an hour to put the pot in a basin.

Feeding

produced at flowering violets, not more than once every 2 weeks.This is enough to flower did not feel the lack of nutrients.During the rest - about once a month.But the fact is that with proper maintenance and care violet blooms almost continuously.Therefore, the issue of fertilizer application should be guided by the circumstances.You can use the fertilizer, cooked at home.

Health

in any room, even in the presence of air purifier, it has a tiny fraction - dust.It accumulates, including leaves and violet blocking them.With a strong pollution "easy" plants it becomes difficult to breathe.Regular cleaning of leaves - one of the conditions for the proper care of the plant.

How to do?Pot is placed in a bowl (better to put it in the bathroom), and violet sprayed from the "flower" sprayer (not the deficit and is no more than 100 rubles) or washed out of the shower head with warm waters.Naturally, the pressure - minimum, so as not to damage the leaves and tender stems.

Transplant violets

violet root system is not developed as rapidly as the other colors, for example, fig.Therefore transplant is usually a change in soil.And it is desirable to do every year, although much depends on the composition and intensity of fertilizer.But such calculations with the definition of specific terms can be done only by an experienced florist.Therefore, once a year - this is normal.
