Catalog of varieties of miniature violets in photographs
Miniature Saintpaulias seem gentle and defenseless, but behind their fragile appearance lies a truly Spartan disposition. They are strong and hardy plants with good immunity and high rates of development.
The diameter of the rosette in a violet of a miniature variety does not exceed 15 cm; there are also semi-miniature varieties of violets (with a rosette diameter of up to 20 cm) and microminiatures, whose size does not exceed 6 cm. These three groups of Saintpaulias are conventionally called miniature.
Miniature violets are in great fashion today. The variety of their choice is truly impressive: today there are more than two thousand miniature varieties of Saintpaulias, and this list is replenished with new selection masterpieces every year.
Many growers collect entire collections of Saintpaulias, consisting of only one mini-varieties. Saintpaulists of the "classical" orientation do not lag behind them: in catalogs one can more and more often find entire sections devoted exclusively to miniatures and trailers. But, speaking about the cultivation of this group of violets, we are used to generalizing in many ways, often without distinguishing between large and small. Meanwhile, the agricultural technology of mini-saintpaulia has its own distinctive features, although it would, of course, be incorrect to declare any fundamental differences. Ultimately, miniature varieties are much more "austere" than it might seem at first glance, and never cause unnecessary trouble to their owners.
The needs of the mini-saintpaulias are modest, and the gifts are royally luxurious. Give them a little attention, give them a drop of love: tiny violets will thank you for this with lush bouquets, precious flower scatterings!
