3 and frequent blunders violets owners

I have not been able to make friends with violets. For some reason, these indoor plants sunk into my soul At the same time. Many believe uzambarskie senpolii fairly undemanding plant. But I am personally not satisfied with the "standard" option: Curve outlet with multiple flowers. I liked the photo lushly flowering specimens forums fialkovodov I studied the Internet.

Over time I have collected a lot of useful information. Then began constant experimentation. I can not say I am now the owner of an ideal, however small collection of high-quality violets. But their appearance has improved markedly. Flowering was almost a year-round and lush. Here is another photo from my collection of home senpoliy:

I talk about 3 common and, unfortunately, blunders in growing violets uzambarskih at home. And a little more :)

1. A large pot - the most harm and no benefit

The main task of violets amateur - to achieve "nodding" (or "buketnogo") bloom. To stalks together rose above the rosette of leaves, covering most of the greens. The most common reason why a houseplant in bloom poorly - too big pot!

Under natural conditions, on the slopes of Africa, beautiful senpolii learned to be limited to a very poor capacity of the soil. Universal rule is dishes diameter violet should be approximately 1/3 the diameter of the outlet. Believe me, your senpolii this will be enough!

Important! Exception - ampelnye varieties, the so-called "Trailers". They are bred in a large bowl.

Because of too much ware plant waits until the roots completely fill the entire volume, and only then begin to actively bloom. But given the rate of aging of violets, in a huge pot and it does you can not wait. Another danger of a giant home uzambarskoy Saintpaulia - high probability of the bay. A large amount of land dries very slowly, and in constant contact with moisture, the roots - a fertile environment for decay.

2. Leave the form of violets in the lurch

Saintpaulia, which "does not touch the hand of man" - a spectacle rather sad. About the decorative form of the domestic flower, unfortunately, can be forgotten. What to do?

• To turn violet to developed rosette of leaves evenly.
• Remove suckers. The only exception to this rule - again, trailer violets, cared for special. Here Saintpaulia, covered with stepchildren. Their long it had to be removed:

• Timely removed from the lower house plant leaflets when they become obsolete.
• Make sure that Violet did not "palm". Due to the removal of the lower leaves of the trunk becomes naked. Therefore, this Saintpaulia need to re-rooting: cut off the top and put in the water to the new roots have grown.

Here is an example of correct, well-groomed outlets violets from the forum:

3. Rigid diet is not exactly for the violets!

For nodding blooms need a lot of micro-and macro. Above all, potassium and phosphorus. Where do we get them? Of course, in the soil. Therefore, violets need to repot every year. Least! Collectors exhibiting violets, transplanted their's favorites more often - in spring and autumn.

by the way: Hand is currently among lovers of violets recognized that the best primer for Saintpaulia home - a mixture of peat with perlite or vermiculite in equal parts. But I sometimes use, and store-bought potting soil "for violets."

And, of course, have to violet fertilize. Sprinkle them are harmful, as well as for all home colors with fuzz on the leaves. Therefore, the use of liquid foliar feeding of complex mineral fertilizers. According to the instructions, or in lower concentrations.

And, finally, about the "error-mate"! Some novice fialkovody plagued plant vigilant attention and control. Torment flower daily inspection, endless fertilizing fertilizers and growth stimulants, preventive treatment against pests. Remember: everything is good in moderation. Allow the plant to develop independently, guiding him gently to the nodding blooms.
