Without demand, I looked at the neighbor's balcony and slouched, too violent flowering of violets.

What to feed violets In February, so that the plant enjoys its flowering for as long as possible? I got the answer! And it's very simple. It is enough to buy a ready-made fertilizer that is as good as possible for this flower. However, there are other solutions for organic lovers. We describe each of them in detail later in the article.

In addition, the degree of humidity in the apartment is also important. It should be high, but it should not be allowed that moisture fell on the leaves and flowers.

To grow a violet bush of extraordinary beauty, you need to follow the stepsons on the plant. These are lateral shoots growing from the sinuses of leaves. Flower growers-amateur is quite difficult to determine that in front of them is a stepson, and not a flowernose. That is why it is important to wait until the tiny cutting is about one centimeter in size.



In general, there is nothing wrong with violet stepsons. However, if you want the plant to please you with a lush color, they must be detected in time and separated from the main flower. So you can get a neat bush of violets with a flat top. Stepchildren lead to the fact that violets look clumsy and heterogeneous.
