Frequent Whys
1. Why won't the violet bloom?
Usually there are two main reasons: too short daylight hours (less than half a day), or too large a pot was used during transplantation, and the plant began to grow roots, trying to fill the excess living space. This is the "disease" of all flowering plants: they bloom only in tight quarters. Caring for violets in this situation is quite simple: you should increase the light and reduce the pot.
2. Why do dark spots appear on the leaves that increase over time, after which the plant dies?
Most often the cause is overflow and, as a result, the development of rot. It is especially easy to “fill in” violets in the autumn-winter period, because when the temperature drops and there is insufficient lighting, they almost stop growing and blooming. The soil in the pot should be loose, contain sand, vermiculite. Otherwise, when water stagnates, root neck rot cannot be avoided, and the flower dies. It is also impossible to overdry the neck, since in this case part of the roots dries up and disappears, microorganisms enter the resulting wounds, and root rot develops. In the initial stage, the flower can be saved by re-rooting. Caring for violets involves regular watering, but not plentiful, they should be watered with “soft”, settled water at room temperature.
3. Why do flowers wither before fully opening?
This can be due to too dry air and high temperature in the room or acidic soil. You need to try to transplant the plant into loose soil withneutral pH of the soil, and maintain the temperature no higher than +21 degrees. You can make a plant bloom at a certain time by constant lighting for 1.5-2 months.
As you can see from the above, violets are pretty easy to care for. If you follow a few rules, maintain a certain microclimate, choose good varieties, then the plants will delight you with lush and long flowering.
