A rare hostess does not have these unpretentious care plants. Violets often occupy the windowsills of private houses and city apartments. And all thanks to its beauty and unpretentiousness in care. One of the favorite varieties is Shulamith violet - a rather beautiful varietal plant that will decorate a home collection.
Variety description
Uzambara Violet (the same Saintpaulia) is an adornment of any greenhouse. A rare florist cannot boast of a collection of small flowers, the variety of which is literally amazing. Violets are not very whimsical. They are much more demanding in terms of attention to their own person.
Today, more than 8 thousand varieties of Uzambara violet are known, one of which is Shulamith. This variety belongs to the terry senpolia, the flowers of which have wavy petals. A photo of the violet Shulamith eloquently testifies to the beauty and unusualness of this variety. Sufficiently large semi-double stars of a white hue with pink, light purple, and even blue splashes are verylook spectacular against the backdrop of lush greenery.
Such a delicate beauty
The violet variety Shulamith was bred by breeders quite recently, in 2013. And literally immediately this plant fell in love with flower growers. Tiny flower buds deserve special attention, the base of which has a snow-white hue. And only the central inclusions play a fundamental role. They can be of the most varied shades. So, the central part of the Shulamith violet flower can have bright red, pink, slightly purple, purple and even blue streaks.
The bush itself is small in size. The root system also does not require a large pot. But it is worth noting that the plant sits firmly in the container, which cannot be said about many varieties of varietal violets, which, if tilted unsuccessfully, can literally fall out of the pot. Violet leaf Shulamith is round in shape, pubescent with small villi, saturated green or light green in color. The stems of the plant are fleshy, they hold the entire shape of the bush well.
Standards
It is known that different varieties can cross-pollinate if they are next to each other and their vegetative periods coincide. You should pay attention to the distinctive features of this beautiful plant:
- Flowers. They are located in the hands (sometimes found in rosettes). The flower consists of five petals of various shapes and sizes. Inside one bud there are two stamens, the same number of carpels and one pistil.
- Leaves. In this violet, they are dense, rounded, green or light green in color. The edges are velvety or ruffled. Clearly form the shape of the entire bush.
- Stems. Small length. They originate from the rosette of the bush.
The photo and description of the violet Shulamith allows you to get a general idea of this houseplant. But you should determine the basic rules for caring for a flower.
How to care?
Violets are very demanding on the container in which they will grow. The root system of this variety is not strongly developed, so the pot should be shallow, but wide in diameter. The plant itself should not go deep into the soil. Otherwise, the violet simply will not grow.
The soil for Saintpaulia should be fairly loose, not acidic. It is best to purchase a special soil for violets (it does not cost much). We must not forget about the drainage for plants.
It is better to water Saintpaulia in a pan, so it is extremely important to work out the drainage. You need to be careful with feeding, because this plant is very sensitive to even small changes.
Now all that remains is to purchase this variety of violet and place it in the most visible place to admire its beauty every day.
