How to grow violets in autumn

1. Breeding conditions

1. Soil: It likes loose, breathable and well-watered acidic loam.

2. Light: It is suitable for growing under scattered light in semi-sun and semi-shade. If the light is too weak, the flowers will be pale in color, or the leaves will grow well but the flowers will not bloom. If the light is too strong, the leaves will change color and dry up. The suitable temperature is 18℃-24℃.

3. Watering: It is recommended to water thoroughly once when just planting. Pay attention to the amount of water during daily maintenance. Do not water too much as it may cause root rot and other phenomena.

4. Fertilization: Apply thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer about once every 7-10 days during the growth period. Do not give too much fertilizer, otherwise the leaves will grow well but no flowers will bloom.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Leaf cuttings: Select relatively healthy leaves from the mother plant and be sure to keep the petioles. Then disinfect the wounds and place them in a cool place to dry. After processing, insert the leaf cuttings into the loam and water them appropriately until roots take root and then you can cultivate them normally.

2. Sowing: It is recommended to start breeding in August-October, disinfect the seeds prepared in advance, sprinkle them evenly on the loam, and then cover them with a layer of fine soil about one centimeter thick. Pay attention to keeping the loam moist, and it will germinate in about 15 days.

3. Pest and disease prevention

1. Wilt: This disease is caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum. The main symptom is stunted and wilted plants. There are obvious lines on the leaves of young plants and drooping of larger leaves. This is usually caused by the seeds themselves. It is recommended to soak the seeds in warm water at 50-55℃ for sterilization before planting.

2. Verticillium wilt: The main symptoms are yellowing and wilting of leaves. The general cause of this disease is the same as root wilt, which can be solved by high-temperature sterilization of seeds.
