After the appearance of the flower in the house, first of all, it is necessary to determine where it will stand. It is recommended to put the polypy in a lighted place, however, the plant should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Also it is necessary to avoid drafts. Experienced growers recommend to put the violet Raisins on the eastern side of the room. Thanks to this, the plant will bathe in the rays of the morning sun, which is less aggressive and scorching.

If you plant the city in a very large capacity, then it will not look very nice. In addition, too bulky pot will lead to the fact that the plant will grow actively, instead of blossoming.

If you really want the bush to be large, then it should be taken into account that in such conditions the first flowers on the violet will appear no earlier than in 2 years.

The roots of this plant are located quite close to the surface, so a large pot is not required.

Due to this, air will flow to the root system through the drainage holes.

• Fill the container with light, nutritious and air-permeable primer. To make it, you can mix a simple land with leaf humus, turfy earth, reparted manure and biohumus. To make the soil soft and breathable, it is necessary to use peat, light garden soil or sphagnum moss. Quartz sand or vermiculite is also suitable as a baking powder.

• Cut the leaf from the main bush.
• Place it in a container of water.
• Wait until the sheet appears roots.

If the flowers do not appear on the violet for a long time, then you need to cut off all the leaves of the plant and put it in a cool place (of the order of +15 ° C) for a day. This will cause the appearance of new buds.

How to properly cut a bush
