5 things violets don't like - don't do this if flowers are dear to you
Delicate flowers - violets can rarely leave anyone indifferent. There are no varieties of these handsome men! There are about 32 thousand varieties of violets. And, like any plant, they need proper care.
Most often, violets are occupied by sunny windowsills. And that's right, they like places like this, especially the eastern windows.
Violets delight in the sun in the morning. And in the summer, these flowers must be rearranged to the northern windows. The optimum temperature for them is 20-23 degrees. Water them with warm water. Like all plants, violets need fertilizer.
But there are also things that violets do not like, from which they get sick, do not bloom, lose their leaves, and may even die.
There are 5 things that you shouldn't do if you love your flowers.
The first. These include drafts. Sometimes it gets hot and stuffy in the apartment in winter, so we ventilate. At the same time, completely forgetting to remove for the time when the window is open, the violet from the windowsill.
This causes irreparable damage to the flower. He may have enough strength not to die, but recovery will take a long time.
Second. A delicate violet does not need bright sun rays at all. Therefore, do not put it on the south windows. If there is no other place, take care of shading. The violet will immediately become lethargic from the direct sun.
Third. Improper watering. This includes the ingress of water on the leaves of the flowers, from which they will rot. And also very frequent watering, which will lead to root rot.
But if for some reason it turned out that the ground became very dry, you cannot immediately pour a lot of water into the pot. First, you should slightly moisten the soil, then a little more.
Fourth. Air humidity. In principle, violets do not like spraying. However, in winter the air in apartments is often too dry, which is also bad for violets.
In this case, spraying can be carried out. But it is important to carry it out at a great distance from the plant so that only the smallest droplets of moisture reach the violet.
Fifth. Hot air. Especially when combined with dry soil in a pot. This situation is more often observed in winter, when it is very hot in the apartment or house, and the violet also stands on the windowsill by the hot battery. Plus they forgot to water it.
Just one such unfavorable day will lead to the fact that the violet will not be able to bloom, its buds will simply dry out.
It is not difficult to comply with such conditions, you just need to be more attentive to the violets, and then they will delight you with their impeccable flowering.
