7 Reasons Why do not bloom violets
Violet (Saintpaulia) is a favorite of many flower grower. The fact is that during the flowering it looks like a small, but incredibly beautiful bouquet. But with proper care it can bloom almost all year round. But what happens is that the grower is still waiting and waiting, but the flowers did not appear.
The main reasons for the lack of flowering
7 Experts identify the main reasons for which Saintpaulia can not bloom when grown under ambient conditions:
1. pochvosmes
For the cultivation of the flower can not use any potting soil, which only you can fall into the hands. It must necessarily be loose and light, and well-pass water and air.
In no case do not use for planting dense and heavy substrates as well as the plant in this case, not only will not bloom, but all can be lost.
Also remember that the violet requires mandatory systematic transplantation with replacement pochvosmesi.
2. Humidity and watering
We can not allow the humidity in the room where the violet, was very low (less than 30 percent). Also, special attention should be given to irrigation.
Permanent stagnation of fluid in the roots, untimely irrigation, the use of unsuitable or very cold water, all of which can negatively affect the flowering.
And remember that watering is recommended by the pallet, and if you pour water directly into the pot, try to keep it from falling on the leaf rosette.
3. Shine
A plant needs a sufficiently long photoperiod (about 12 hours) and may require supplementary lighting. Remember that it must be protected from direct sunlight.
Best of all, it will feel on the windowsill western or northern orientation, the light must always be scattered.
4. Capacity
If the selected pot will be much larger than is necessary, then Bush will begin to actively build up the roots and foliage, and flowering it simply does not remain forces.
That is why for planting should be chosen very small capacity, which in size is only slightly greater than the volume of the root system of the bush.
5. Fertilizer
Such a culture needs to be systematic dressing to spend 1 time in 7 days. In this case, it is recommended to use only those mineral complexes, which are designed specifically for violets.
Note that large amounts of nitrogen in the substrate can also be a cause of lack of flowering.
6. grade
There are such varieties and species of violets that bloom very poorly and rarely, and it can not be changed.
7. disease
Perform a thorough inspection of the bush for signs of the presence of harmful insects or disease lesions.
And remember that diseased plants will not bloom.
