Features of planting
The violet "ice rose" will bloom and grow longerat an accelerated pace if you choose the right pot for her. Few people know that a container with a diameter equal to the violet outlet itself is considered ideal for a plant.
If you choose a pot for a larger plant, the flower will direct all its strength to the development of the root system, and not the flower stalks.
It is important to know: the closer the decorative pot for a plant, the more luxuriant it blooms.
Rules for the care of violets:
- Replant adult plants 1-2 times a year, using the method of transshipment.
- Rejuvenate old plants. Breeders recommend removing almost all rows of leaves in order to preserve the variety in old plants, leaving 1-2 rows from the center of the rosette.
- After the action, the violet is cut and placed in a flat vessel with a small amount of water at the bottom for rooting. Watch the water level, because violet does not require abundant food.
Creating artificial lighting for home colors
Most gardeners tend to arrange wintergarden at home, even more - to extend the flowering of domestic plants. Some create additional conditions, for example, fluorescent artificial lighting, others resort to the use of special tools that are not too good for the plant.

During the period of growing green mass, the root system of a plant needs to be enriched with nitrogen compounds. And during the formation of peduncle - in potassium, which is contained in the composition of modern mineral fertilizers for flowers and house plants.
Reproduction of Saintpaulia
Leaf cuttings - the material by which violets multiply.
The method of seed propagation is used onlyexperienced flower growers. It is noted that using the method of sowing seeds, it is extremely rare to obtain a specimen similar to the parent.

The most common breeding methods for violets are:
- rooting the cuttings of a plant in water (a cutting from 2-3 rows from the base of the socket is used);
- rooting of the cuttings of a plant in the ground (the cuttings are planted directly into the soil mixture);
- obtaining a new plant from the peduncle is one of the best methods of reproduction of Saintpaulia, so it is possible to achieve absolute preservation of maternal qualities of the daughter plant.
