When do violets bloom?

1. When do violets bloom?

Like many kinds of flowers, violets bloom in spring, usually from April to May. However, the flowering period of artificially cultivated violets is also uncertain due to the uncertainty of their sowing time. Generally speaking, violets sown in a greenhouse must first go through a growing period of 3 to 5 months before they will bloom, but there are exceptions. Due to climatic factors, violets sown in July will have to wait until February of the following year to bloom.

2. Maintenance during flowering period

1. Lighting

Violet is a plant that prefers a cool environment. However, violets do not like shade. If the environment is too shady, the violets will bloom less or even not bloom. Excessive light will cause its leaves to turn yellow, and the plant will dry up and be damaged.

2. Environment

Although violets like light and are not shade-tolerant, they are relatively cold-resistant and are particularly afraid of waterlogging. So be sure to place it in a higher position so that it can be better exposed to sunlight, and ventilation and drainage will also be better. And remember, violets are most afraid of stuffiness and heat. If they are in the rainy season, they are prone to diseases and pests in a hot and poorly ventilated environment.

3. Watering

When watering any plant, the first thing to do is to control the amount. When watering violets, do not water them too much, as too much water will easily cause root rot. At the same time, be careful not to splash water on the leaves to prevent leaf rot.

4. Pruning

After the violet blooms, in order to make it branch again, its flower branches need to be properly pruned. If you do this, it will bloom twice in June or July.

5. Fertilization

When violets are in bloom, be sure to reduce fertilization, because fertilization at this time will shorten the flowering time of violets. If you feel it is necessary, you can spray some flower strengthener, which can make the violet buds stronger and the petals larger, and it will also be beneficial to the color and fragrance of the violets.
