3 simple steps, after which my violets bloom with "caps" and keep flowers for a long time

Fiery fireworks, fellow flower growers!

Would you like to admire the lush flowers of your favorite Uzambara violet? I found an approach to them. Now these are simple and predictable plants for me that bloom profusely - whether they like it or not. Today I will tell you how and what to do with them - step by step.

Step # 1. The most time consuming but also the most important

Whether you like it or not, adult violets need frequent transplants. I try not to delay and replant the plants every year. I write down which variety and when I changed my place of residence, so as not to miss anyone.

New soil means new opportunities. An impetus for development, the crown of which is abundant flowering.

• When transplanting, I will make sure to cut most of the roots.
• I will plant it in the same pot in which the plant sat before. This is a container no more than 10 cm in diameter. Comrades, if you take it more voluminously, the flowering time will be postponed and the risk of a bay increases.

After planting, we do not feed the violet for 2-3 months and put it on the sunniest window. But so that the direct rays of the sun do not fall on the leaves. They leave ugly spots on the leaves - burns.

Step # 2. Then everything goes along the knurled

Fresh soil, a small pot, and adequate lighting will definitely do the trick. The violet will start throwing out buds. In my experience, this happens 2-8 weeks after the transplant. Depends on the plant, conditions and luck.

And here we do the trick: comrades, we boldly remove the first peduncles. Is it a pity? Yes. But then you will see that there are 2 times more buds. This is the nodding flowering sought by professional Saintpaulia collectors.

If stepchildren are formed (branches in the axils of the leaves), then they must also be removed with a toothpick or nail. Try not to damage the trunk itself and the leaves.

The idea of ​​removing the first peduncles is very simple. But despite its simplicity, the procedure is very effective. The violet now has one wish. This is procreation by seeds. Having lost her peduncle, she tries to finish her program and gives the buds again. But it is also reinsured: it releases more flowers.

Step # 3. A matter of technique: we enjoy the result of the work, but put the finishing touch

From the moment the first peduncle appeared (which we tear off), the care of the violet has changed. Now, in addition to regular watering, we fertilize:

• 10 ml of complex mineral fertilizer per 1 liter of warm water - once every 2 weeks;
• or 2 ml per 1 liter of warm water - with each watering.

Be sure to keep the potted soil dry. This way the flowers will last longer. Do you like violets and was the article interesting? Press "Thumbs up" in response, comrades!
