Care rules
The main activity of caring for a violet is watering. In the wild, violets grow in tropical climates, where their roots are kept in warm, moist soil at all times. Maintain soil moisture in the pot with regular, moderate watering.
It is very important to properly water the Black Pearl Violet. Experienced flower growers advise organizing wick watering for adult violets
A cord made of synthetic material with a diameter of 3-5 millimeters is placed in the pot. The end of the cord is released from the drainage hole and lowered into a container of water. Violet independently regulates the level of moisture in the soil
Experienced flower growers advise organizing wick watering for adult violets. A cord made of synthetic material with a diameter of 3-5 millimeters is placed in the pot. The end of the cord is released from the drainage hole and lowered into a container of water. Violet independently regulates the level of moisture in the soil.
A vessel with water is placed on a shelf under a violet or under a pot, which stands on a special stand. Such a technique will simultaneously serve to increase the level of humidity in the air due to the evaporation of the liquid.
An alternative to a wick is top or bottom watering. When watering overhead, the soil is poured into the edge of the pot using a watering can with a long nose or a syringe pear. Water should not fall on the leaves and in the center of the outlet, otherwise the plant will rot processes. Bottom watering is carried out by immersing the pot in a container of water for 30 minutes.
Feeding rules and schedule
Violet Black Pearl is extremely sensitive to the presence of nutrients in the soil. During the formation of the rosette, the plant needs nitrogen, therefore, fertilizing is carried out with organic fertilizers. From the beginning of bud formation and until the end of flowering, the plant needs phosphorus and potassium. At this time, mineral mixtures are used for dressing.
The feeding schedule depends on the location of the violet:
- Plants grown on racks under lamps are fed every 2 weeks all year round.
- Violets grown on the windowsill are fed from March to November every 15-20 days.
Fertilizers must not be applied in the following cases:
- Within 1.5 months after transplant.
- The plant is weakened by diseases or infested with pests.
- The room is too hot or cold.
A violet of the Black Pearl variety must be fed, but not earlier than 2 months after transplantation.
Transplant technology
The soil in the violet pot must be regularly refreshed. Violets are transplanted annually in spring. The root system of the violet is underdeveloped, of a fibrous type, so for planting you need to choose shallow pots. The maximum diameter of the container is 12-13 centimeters. The size of the pots is increased gradually.
The soil for planting needs to be light, as loose as possible, so that the roots have the opportunity to breathe. It is recommended to purchase a special soil for violets or prepare the substrate yourself from leafy and soddy soil (5 hours), peat (3 hours), sand (1 hour). For loosening, add 10% of the total volume of vermiculite or perlite, a little wood ash, sphagnum moss to any soil.
Young rosettes are transferred into a larger pot along with a lump of earth. Adult outlets are planted in a fresh substrate, carefully shaking off the old one.
Pruning and plant hygiene
A feature of the Black Pearl variety is the periodic dying off of the lower leaves.To prevent them from becoming a source of infection for the whole plant, timely pruning is needed. The procedure is carried out with a sharp knife. Cutting points are treated with charcoal.
The lower leaves of the violet Black pearl are periodically removed with a sharp blade.
In the descriptions of the Black Pearl variety on the forums of flower growers, some horniness of the rosette and a tendency to bare the trunk are often noted. Such a problem arises when the rosette is improperly formed and the plant is inept transplant. So that the cuttings of individual leaves do not lengthen, and the violet grows evenly, the pot must be periodically turned with the other side towards the light.
The bare trunk must be placed in the ground when transplanting violets. A rosette at the age of four, if it has too bare the trunk, needs to be rejuvenated, that is, cut off the top and root it in a mixture of peat and sand. After this procedure, the violet will begin a “new life”, and it will release many young leaves.
The purity of the fleecy violet leaves is maintained by bathing the rosette every 30-40 days. The violet is placed in a bath and washed with a weak stream of water. The violet is returned to the windowsill after the leaves are completely dry.
