How to grow violets at home

Violet Flower Growing Conditions

Violets are adaptable to a wide range of soils, but are more suitable for planting in well-drained, neutral to alkaline, moist and deep soils. They avoid strongly acidic soils and are more drought-resistant. Therefore, do not water them too much, just maintain basic moisture. They like plenty of sunlight, but are also tolerant to partial shade, and good ventilation must be maintained during the growth period.

How to grow violets

Violets are suitable for planting in well-drained, fertile neutral to acidic soil. If you prepare the potting soil yourself, you can mix humus, garden soil, and river sand. Violets like semi-shade. Too strong light will cause the leaves to turn yellow. Too much shade will result in fewer flowers and lighter colors, and only leaves will grow without blooming. They need full-day diffuse light.

Watering violet flowers

Violets like a humid environment. Generally, they can be watered when the soil is half dry or half moist. Water them every 3-4 days. Remember not to pour water head on, but water slowly around the periphery of the pot.

Fertilizing violet flowers

During the peak growth period of violets, apply thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer every 7-10 days. Be careful not to apply too much nitrogen fertilizer. The ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be 1:1:1. Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering to make the flowers large and colorful.

Violet flower pest control

When planting violets, the soil needs to be disinfected, ventilated frequently during the growth period, and dense branches and leaves pruned in time. This can reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests. If the situation is more serious, you can spray appropriate pesticides for prevention and control.

Violet flower care precautions

Violets like a cool environment, are cold-resistant but not shade-tolerant. They need more exposure to sunlight during their growth period and prefer a well-ventilated and well-drained environment. They are prone to disease and pest crises in the high temperature and stuffy environment in summer, so prevention and control measures need to be taken.
