Rules for caring for an indoor plant

All without exception, varieties of varietal violets require careful care. In order to preserve the mother's attributes and preserve the variety, it is necessary to study the peculiarities of growing and reproduction of such plants as the "ice rose" - the violet, the photo of which is presented below.

Picking up a place for the violet correctly

East or southeast window - the best place for growing violets of this species. Observations showed that when the violet was moved to the windowsill of the north window, the growth of the plant deteriorated noticeably, and the flowering turned into meager and short.

Variety of violets "ice rose" - a plant that does not like abundant light: with active exposure to sunlight on the violet, its leaves are fired, and the decorative appearance of the plant is lost in the course of time.

Soil preparation

Flowers are best bloomed and developed, planted in fertile soil. The soil should be light and well let in air. It is possible to give preference to a special purchase mixture for violet planting and additionally use disintegrating agents for the soil.

Planting features

The violet "ice rose" will blossom longer and grow at an accelerated pace if you pick the pot right for it. Few people know that the ideal volume for a plant is a container whose diameter is equal to the outlet of the violet.

If you pick up a pot for a larger plant, the flower will direct all its forces to the development of the root system, and not the peduncles.

It is important to know: the narrower the decorative pot for the plant, the more luxuriant it blooms.

Rules of care for violets:

1. Transplant adult plants 1-2 times a year, using the method of transshipment.
2. Rejuvenate old plants. Breeders recommend to preserve the variety of old plants to remove almost all rows of leaves, leaving 1-2 rows from the center of the rosette.
3. After the performed operations, the violet is cut and placed in a flat vessel with a small amount of water at the bottom for rooting. Watch the water level, because the violet does not require abundant food.

Creating artificial lighting for home colors

Most gardeners are trying to equip the winter garden at home, even more - to prolong the flowering of domestic plants. Some create additional conditions, for example, fluorescent artificial lighting, others resort to the use of special means, which is not too good for the plant.

If you have 1-2 violets in the house, then there is no need to create artificial lighting, and if the collection - it is just necessary.

It is important to remember how to choose the right lamp. They should make white cold light. From the warm yellow light, the violet "violet rose" violet, the photo of which is presented in the article, experiences discomfort.

Lamps should be placed 20-25 cm above the top of the socket. Insufficient lighting will not give any effect, excessive - will oppress the violet.

How and when to water the plant

Water is suitable for water at room temperature. Too cold can adversely affect the development of the root system, lead to decay or proliferation of bacteria and flower diseases. You can water the violet in two ways: in a pot or over the ground.

Fertilizer

At first, to feed the plant is not necessary, because it was planted in a nutrient medium. During the growth of the green mass, the root system of the plant needs to be enriched with nitrogen compounds. And during the formation of the peduncle - in potassium, which is contained in modern mineral fertilizers for flowers and domestic plants.

Reproduction of Senpolia

Leaf cuttings are the material by which violets reproduce.

Only experienced flower growers use the method of seed propagation. It is noted that, using the method of seeding seeds, it is extremely rare to obtain a copy similar to the parent one. Daughter violets rarely produce large terry flowers. Most often it is possible to bring out a violet with a standard rosette consisting of green or dark green foliage, which is crowned with several simple monochrome flowers.

The violet "ice rose", the description of which you have already studied, reproduces in several ways.

It is important to know that varietal characteristics are preserved only in the case of propagation by cuttings or peduncles.

Methods of reproduction

The most common ways of reproduction of violets are:

• Rooting the cuttings of the plant in water (using a 2-3-row stem from the base of the rosette);
• Rooting of the cuttings of the plant in the soil (cuttings are planted directly into the soil mixture);
• Obtaining a new plant from the peduncle - one of the best methods of breeding senpolia, it is possible to achieve absolute preservation of the maternal qualities of the daughter plant.

Rules of reproduction of violets

1. As a breeding material, choose only a healthy flower spike.
2. Break it off at the bottom.
3. Plant in a small container with a nutrient primer, pour and cover with a film or a packet (this will help create a mini-greenhouse and increase the humidity).
4. Do not forget to ventilate systematically. This will help to get rid of the condensate.
5. When the children will appear, let them grow up a little and plant them in separate pots (the flower stalk is ejected, as it becomes unsuitable for repeated reproduction).

Violet "ice rose" is an exclusive grade of saintpolia that will decorate your interior and, despite the "cold" name, will delight owners with its beauty and cause admiration among the guests.
