Amazing velvet variety of violets "Le Isadora"

Description

Violet DS-Raisin is used very widely and therefore it is extremely important for all novice gardeners to know what the specificity of this variety is. This variety is a saintpaulia, which, in fact, is not a violet, but due to the fact that the name "violet" is more familiar to this flower, then further we will use this very word

This subspecies of Saintpaulia is covered with lavender flowers during flowering. They occasionally have white inclusions that can occupy different areas. The petals of the Raisin are slightly corrugated and have a rather wide white border.

The outer border of the border is a narrow crimson stripe. DS-Raisin has an always neat looking rosette growing compactly. The color of the foliage is an unexpressed green. The leaves themselves are relatively small. But in order to realize the potential of the described variety, it is necessary to use it correctly.

Top dressing

Frosty Cherry (violet) does not like dense and too nutrient-rich soils. They oppress the plant, lead to a loss of appearance, a decrease in the number of peduncles. In such soils, plants are more likely to get sick.

Therefore, if, while observing the light, temperature and suitable humidity, the plant begins to lose its attractiveness, it is necessary to transplant it into a poorer but lighter soil.

Adult Saintpaulia is fed twice a month with special products that can be bought in flower shops. Fertilize 2 weeks after transplanting.

The world of violets is huge. Thanks to the efforts of breeders, the Frosty Cherry variety appeared, which has become popular. The creator of the violet is Konstantin Morev, who delighted fans ...

The world of violets is huge. Thanks to the efforts of breeders, the Frosty Cherry variety has appeared, which has become popular. The creator of the violet is Konstantin Morev, who has delighted lovers of beauty with several varieties of wonderful flowers.

Main characteristics

Frosty cherry has flowers of special beauty: large and double. However, an increase in size is observed gradually, reaching a diameter of up to 4 cm over time. In the center, the shade of violet petals is cherry red, a white stripe is visible along the edges. The main characteristic of the variety is the ability to change shades of flowers: from pale pink to deep crimson. Such transformations are determined by the care of the plant. With a decrease in the ambient temperature, the color of the violet becomes lighter, with an increase - saturated.

Flowering period

The size of the flowers of the Frosty Cherry variety varies depending on the number of blooms. The more there were, the larger the size of the violet petals. The saturation of the hues is determined by the time of flowering. Fading buds are much brighter than new ones. The value of Saintpaulia Frosty Cherry lies in the long flowering period. It lasts up to 10 months. However, for this, the plant must be properly looked after. You can extend the flowering period, as well as their number, using fertilizers.

Reproduction of violets

Reproduction of the Winter cherry variety is carried out by cuttings. This allows you to preserve all the properties of the mother plant. As a result of pollination by a plant of a different variety, a new type of violet can be obtained. However, this is a complex process, which is carried out by experienced breeders who decided to develop a new variety.

Growing violets

The description of the cultivation process of the Winter Cherry variety includes the following steps:

1. Cut the leaf of the plant, wash, shortening the cut area to 2 cm.
2. The soil is prepared: peat and a ripper are mixed in equal proportions, which is often used as polystyrene chips.
3. The blank of the future violet is planted in a special pot with holes at the bottom.
4. The pots are covered with jars to create a greenhouse effect.

Rooting of the cuttings takes place within a month. The appearance of new leaves indicates the growth of the plant. This process usually takes 3 months. The Frosted Cherries are then ready to be split.

The base sheet is removed, and the children are divided into pre-prepared pots. After planting, violets must be watered. You can put the pots in a greenhouse for better rooting. With the growth of Saintpaulia, it is transplanted into a nutrient mixture.

The main components of proper care

Saintpaulia variety Frosty cherry requires certain conditions to be met. Proper care includes:

1. Prepared soil. Usually a specially formulated mixture is used. If desired, prepare a dry cocktail from different types of soil: turf, coniferous and leafy, with the addition of peat and baking powder.
2. A pot that differs in holes in the bottom and depth. They take low dishes. Observance of physical indicators: temperature regime, humidity 60-80%, illumination, proper watering, feeding.
3. Features of the temperature regime for the growth stage and flowering period. To preserve the plant, 10 degrees is enough, but the violet will bloom at 20 - 25 degrees.

Variety Winter cherry is distinguished by its exactingness to the conditions, which are described in books on floriculture.

But thanks to its charm, the violet has earned attention to itself. Even novice growers are not afraid to start this plant. With good care, the care of Saintpaulia Frosty cherry will delight its owners with beautiful flowers and a gorgeous view

With good care, the care of Saintpaulia Frosty cherry will delight its owners with beautiful flowers and a gorgeous view.

Violet SM-Stassiya (Seedling Moreva)

Divine violet Stassia.

Authorship of the variety

The spectacular violet Moreva Stassia, distinguished by the most beautiful color of flowers, could not pass the test for compliance with the varietal requirements of its author - Moscow breeder Konstantin Lvovich Morev, therefore it became known to domestic flower growers as an unnamed seedling.

Saintpaulia received its name from the violet growers, and to them it owes its wide distribution in the collections of connoisseurs of these tropical beauties.

Konstantin Morev is a student of the recognized master of domestic breeding B.M. Makuni and has been professionally working on the creation of varieties of Saintpaulias for about a quarter of a century. Violet SM-Stassia, a photo of which you can see below.

This variety was invented by Konstantin Morev.

ATTENTION! Violet appeared at exhibitions with the abbreviation "CM", which, by agreement of the flower growers, means the popularly recognized "Seedling of Morev".

Taxonomy

According to the botanical and hierarchical rules for constructing taxonomic typology, the violet "SM-Stassia" is ranked as a seedling colossally voluminous because of the varieties included in it and fabulously beautiful thanks to the decorative images of specimens of the genus Saintpaulia (family Gesneriaceae):

• By diametrically - numerical coefficients of the dimensions of the bushes, Saintpaulia is included in the lists of the standard subspecies;

• And according to the volumetric - filled state of flowers, it is ranked as semi-double varieties.

Photo and description of the variety

A beautiful saintpaulia seedling forms without the intervention of a grower:

• A neat bush with a relatively flat configuration;
• Tightly laying out the sheet plates in several tiers;
• And while adhering to the mosaic assembly method.

Dimensional - the diametrical characteristics of the rosette always correspond to the digital coefficients of the standard subspecies, due to which the seedling specimens look spectacular and occupy a small area of ​​the window sill or rack area.

Slightly oval leaves differ:

• The size optimal for the standard dimensions of the socket;
• Clear graphics of venation with a thickened central vein of an emerald hue;
• Quilted surface;

• And a wavy structure with side edges with a rounded - serrated ending.

The leafy plates of a dark green shade sit on several elongated petioles of an emerald color, but the length of the petioles does not particularly affect the compactness of the rosette.

The blossoming corollas themselves may have:

• Semi-double filling with petals;
• And flowers of a simple structure are very rare.

Each flower petal is different:

• Wavy configuration of the edge sidewalls;
• And ruffled hem finish.

Such a structure of the petals visually fills the volume of the flower even more.

There are many different shades of flowers in this variety.

The main value of the seedling can be called the unique play of shades of its flowers: the white color of the main space of the petals is randomly filled with stripes and extensive spots of pink and cherry colors with a transition to beet color intensity. And all this riot of shades lies in a frame of greenish edging of various thicknesses and fringes.

Sports

IMPORTANT! In a seedling, the presence of sports is not noted, since its characteristic features are not fixed by the status of a "variety", and their various interpretations can only be regarded as variation changes in the seedling itself.

There are several such variations:

• With petals of intense burgundy color and abundant ruffles of a green tone;

• With petals completely painted over with cherry color, and framed by a thin fringe of a greenish hue;

• With cherry - beetroot petals, the usual green ruffle and a small amount of white spots.

Classification of varieties of Saintpaulias by characteristics

Ornamental flowering plants differ in shape, terry, shade and color of the flower, the size of the rosette. On these grounds, they are classified.

Shape, terry and color

Violets that have more than 5 petals are called terry violets. They look fluffy and lush. According to the degree of terry, they are distinguished:

• simple (has 5 separated petals);
• scallop (5 full petals complement 3 small ones);
• semi-double (present from 5-10 petals);
• terry (more than 10 petals, fluffy and lush);
• carnations (fluffy, have a large number of petals).

Depending on the shape and location of the petals, the types of violets are distinguished:

• Pansies (consists of 5 petals, small ones are placed on top, large ones below; popular names are Cinderella's Dream, Kimi Melodies);
• Star (5 petals of the same size and shape, gathered around a rounded core; the most popular are the Goddess of Beauty, Magic of Love, Black Prince, Rosemary, Marshmallow);
• Bell (petals grow together, resemble a bell; the most beautiful varieties are Admiral, Chanson);
• Bowl (the petals do not grow together, in the photo the saintpaulia looks like a bowl; among the common varieties - Bu Meng, Ming Dynasty);
• Wasp (5 petals, two of them are rolled up and raised up, and three are elongated in length, directed downward; common varieties are Lunar Lily White, Zemfira, Sputnik).

The edge of the petals can be wavy (resembles a wave), notched (with a depression in the middle) or fringed (the edges are uneven, grooved).

Rosette and flower size

Depending on the size of the flower, violets are distinguished:

• small (the flower reaches 2 cm in diameter);
• medium (grows up to 4 cm);
• large (up to 6 cm);
• especially large (large-flowered; size more than 6 cm).

According to the size of the outlet, varieties are distinguished:

• micromini (up to 8 cm in diameter);
• mini (no more than 12-15 cm);
• half-mini (grow up to 20 cm wide);
• standard (outlet size - no more than 40 cm).

The micromini variety should only be watered. And the half-mini variety does not tolerate excess heat well (foliage falls off the plant, it dies).

Important!

Saintpaulias are varied in color. Their colors range from blue-violet, blue and lilac, to white, pink and burgundy.There are monochromatic varieties or varieties with petals of two colors.

Growing conditions

In order for the Whipped Cream violet to be in constant bloom, it is necessary to properly care for it and monitor such parameters as:

• Install it in a place with suitable lighting;
• Complete absence of cold winds;
• Make timely correct watering;
• Feed the plant in the correct dosage with the necessary fertilizers.

Fulfilling all these requirements, you can be sure that the violet feels good, and therefore its flowering will last up to 9.5 months a year, interrupting only during the hot periods of summer.

Priming

Specialized soil for Saintpaulias can be bought in specialized stores.

Now it is produced by various companies, but you can also compose it yourself. The composition of the earth is taken in equal parts by all ingredients:

• Coniferous soil;
• Sod soil;
• Torah or sand;
• Leafy land.

If a florist makes up the earth on his own, it must be disinfected by freezing it in the freezer of the refrigerator for a day or calcining it in an oven at a temperature of 200 degrees for one hour.

The compiled soil should be loose and nutritious. But nitrogen supplements in the form of rotted manure cannot be added, since this will stimulate the growth of the leaf mass of the violet, and it will not be able to start flowering.

Pot

The capacity is selected for a specific plant, since with an excess of land, the bush will not bloom, but will increase the green mass. The best selection option, according to experienced florists, is that the diameter of the leaf mass should exceed the pot by 3 times.

The container for the violet should have drainage holes for draining the water after each watering. The material from which the pot is made does not matter much, plastic pots and ceramic pots are also not suitable.

Lighting

A correctly chosen place means a lot, because in the dark the violet will not bloom, and the hot rays of the midday sun in summer will burn a rosette of beautiful and velvety leaves.

In winter, the violet grows well on the southern windows, but in the summer, starting from the first days of May, it is moved to the northern windows.

If there are no such in the room, then a barrier made of white paper or fabric is hung between the bushes of violets and the glass. It will protect from aggressive sunlight that can destroy the plant.

Humidity

The flower has nothing against moisture, but you should not spray it, because after that, not beautiful brown spots appear on the velvety leaves and this cannot be treated.

Plant care at home

Conditions of detention

Both varieties belong to standard violets, medium in size, and therefore they have almost the same conditions. And small differences should be observed only to obtain exhibition or ideal bushes.

The main points when choosing a place to grow violets are:

• Lighting;
• Temperature;
• Humidity.

Each point is important in its own way, and only together they guarantee the correct development and flowering:

1. The light should be bright, but not in direct sunlight. The varieties also feel good under artificial lighting. The duration of daylight hours, in natural light, depends on the season, but it is recommended to maintain 12-13 hours all year round, this is possible with the help of additional lighting or a complete transition to lamps;
2. It is also recommended to maintain the temperature regime stably throughout the year. The temperature indicator should be on average 22-24 ° C. If the temperature changes seasonally, then it ranges from 16-18 ° to 24-26 °, in winter and summer, respectively;
3. Air humidity - this indicator fluctuates in accordance with the temperature. The higher the indicator on the thermometer rises, the more the% humidity in the room should be.

Choosing the right place is one of the main points for reaching the beautiful Saintpaulias.

Watering and feeding

Water and minerals are the basis for the growth and development of the flower. These varieties respond well to both classic irrigation methods and wicks.

Violets can be watered as usual.

To get a well-developed and blooming rosette, it is important to follow the irrigation and fertilization schedule:

1. Classic (in a pallet and under sheets) - the procedure is carried out as needed, about once a week (in summer, less often in winter). Fertilizers are applied through irrigation, in a concentration that is half the recommended;
2. Wick (through the wick from the lower container) - water is always in the container under the flowerpot, and minerals are constantly added to the water, but the dosage is reduced by 7-8 times.

Transplant, rejuvenation, pruning

As with all standards, these varieties need to be pruned regularly, removing old leaves and flower stalks.

Attention! For the correct formation of the PC-Magdalene rosette, it must be cut well by removing the lower elongated leaves.

For good development, it is necessary to repot the bush regularly. In youth, the bushes are transplanted as they grow, increasing the size of the flowerpot.

Adult bushes do not need to be transplanted so often; once a year, or even two, is enough for them.

The soil is selected ready for Saintpaulias, or made up, depending on the type of irrigation.

During planned transplants, the plant is pruned, removing several rows of leaves and dead roots. Thus, the bush is rejuvenated.

Reproduction

Both varieties have no features that would limit breeding methods:

1. Leaf cuttings - a leaf of 2-3 rows is rooted in the way that the florist prefers: in soil, water or moss;
2. Stepsons - they are deposited at different ages, with native roots, or rooted like leaves;

3. Peduncles - root only in the ground, under the film.

Violet Isadora: description of the variety and growing conditions

violet Isadora: photo

Isadora violet is a violet variety that has inflorescences colored in light pink or white shades. A distinctive feature of this variety is that there are decorative, contrasting spots on the flowers, which are painted in purple and dark lilac shades. All this greatly adorns the flowers, they are not boring, but stand out against the background of many other plantings. The flower generally looks incredibly decorative both as a single planting and as part of a flower arrangement.

She can decorate absolutely any residential or office visit, become a pleasant and bright accent that will definitely attract attention from gardeners. Violet Isadora became very popular thanks to the Ukrainian breeder Elena Lebetskaya, and very soon spread to many other countries, including becoming very popular with Russian flower growers.

It was Elena Lebetskaya who gave several characteristics to this variety, calling the flowers semi-double, but at the same time lush and bright. We will dwell in more detail on the varietal characteristics of this unusual, but very attractive plant.

The flower stalks form rather short, but at the same time they are very dense, on each peduncle there are from four to six attractive buds. For a long time, they do not bloom until the very end, and it takes about two weeks for full disclosure. The color of the peduncles is light, attractive and clear. Only petals that have just blossomed can be painted in a greenish tint. Basically, it is a delicate greenish edging, which disappears after a few days when the whole plant reaches the flowering stage. The rosette of this variety is medium in size, its shape is quite standard, it does not stand out in shape from other varieties and landings. The leaves are smooth, attractive. The variety can be propagated by cuttings, in addition, the planting materials will retain all the properties and most of the characteristics of the mother bush.Thanks to cuttings, you can also increase the fertility of the violet, make its flowering even more abundant.

Violet LE Isadora is a variety that belongs to the category of selectively bred. This means that gardeners have tried very hard to get an attractive and very interesting plant. In addition, this variety can have the so-called Isadora violet sports.

Isadora violet sports are flowers that can appear, but they will not be characteristic of this particular variety and this plant variety. To avoid this, not one, but several outlets should be brought to flowering, so that one of them does not start to grow in an arbitrary order and show some other signs of other varieties of violets, not Isadora.

The leaves of the plant have a semi-double variety. The shade can be different - there are medium green leaves, and there are also dark green leafy colors, which also look incredibly interesting and attractive

On the back, the leaves have a bright pink color, which is very pronounced, and which just indicates some feature of this plant, which is also worth paying attention to. This variety is also characterized by such a phenomenon as variegation - the leaves will not be painted in a pure green shade, but will have marble blotches or stains, which will make the flower even more attractive and decorative if we consider the planting from the point of view of enhanced decorativeness

Many people want to make the Isadora violet thus a bright accent among many other plantings, which will attract special attention. Therefore, the LE Isadora violet is perfect for growing violets as a single crop, as well as growing it in a group planting. The leaves are more like hearts in shape, the edges are serrated, the roots are exactly the same - slightly serrated. Therefore, sometimes the leaves may look like they have been torn a little, but in fact this is just one of the features of this variety and its external characteristics. Further in the article, we will consider some of the subtleties of agricultural technology and caring for this plant, which should be taken into account in order to get an excellent and attractive planting in the future. Only well-groomed violets that feel supported by gardeners will be able to demonstrate excellent external qualities, as well as less likely to be exposed to diseases or attacks from pests and bacteria.

Outdoor cultivation

Two-horned violet perennial is quite unpretentious, but in order for it to feel good, it is necessary to create comfortable conditions for it.

How to choose a landing site?

Viola prefers moderate temperatures, so it is better to plant it in partial shade or next to larger plants that can protect the violet from overheating.

Attention! Too much shading promotes moisture stagnation and can provoke slugs to attack violets.

In addition, the area must be well ventilated.

What soil does the plant prefer?

For the abundant flowering of viola, the soil must be of the required quality:

• The most suitable is loamy, well-drained soil with an acidity of 6.5-7.2;
• To avoid stagnant water, you can prepare a substrate from a mixture of humus and loam;
• The surface of the soil is mulched with chips, tree bark, etc. to keep moisture.

Watering and feeding

Viola needs to be watered well and fed a little, which is determined by the quality of the soil. The soil is fertilized no more than twice a year:

• In the spring, when the violet begins to grow, and at the end - after the end of flowering;
• It is optimal to use mineral or organic feeding containing a complex of microelements.

Important! The exception is fresh manure, it is destructive for violets.

Planting rejuvenation, pruning, decorative support

To maintain the flawless appearance of the flower bed, it is recommended to plant young violets every few years. Such an update will go completely unnoticed.

To rejuvenate the bush, it is necessary to plant young shoots.

To maintain the beauty of the bushes, peduncles with seed bolls are removed at the end of the season.

Preparation for wintering

The horned viola is characterized by high resistance to low temperatures. In many regions of Russia, she hibernates right in the flower bed. To do this, it is enough to place spruce branches or sawdust on top of the flowers.

Origin story

For the first time, a violet was found in Tanzania (in Africa). One of the country's colonizers, the Frenchman Walter von Saint-Paul, saw a flower growing on a stone in a ravine crevice. He collected the seeds of the plant and sent them to his father, the leader of the German dendrological society, who handed the package to the botanical garden.

In 1893, the director of the botanical garden, Hermann Weldland, grew unusual and beautiful flowers from the obtained grains, named them Violet-flowered Saintpaulias (Violet-flowered). In their appearance, they were similar to the violets already known at that time.

Description

This beautiful variety is decorated with magnificent flowers and does not take up much space on the windowsill, but it is not repeatable, and many growers want to have it in their collection.

Leaves

The leaf mass is collected in a neat rosette with light leaf plates.

Its adult diameter is 17 cm, the leaves are located on long petioles and have a slight waviness along the edge of the plate.

Moreover, from the inside out, the sheet plates are painted in a red tint.

Important! The variety is considered unstable and, judging by the reviews of the owners, it often goes into sports.

Flowers

Large double flowers, similar to whipped foam.

Each petal has strongly wavy fringe-like edges.

The whole effect of whipping is further aggravated by the fact that the petals are not evenly colored and among the completely white ones one can come across petals unevenly colored with a raspberry shade.

There are many peduncles and with large flowers they form a large bouquet of magnificent flowers. In this case, the color of flowers on one bush does not repeat, it falls out randomly. The flower stalks are strong and can withstand the heavy weight of the buds.

Important! Flowers have a diameter of 6 cm

Features and differences from other violets

Flowers, depending on the lighting and air temperature, are painted in different colors. Therefore, the flowers change their color from the season of the year. In summer they are brighter.

When breeding, sports appear that go completely red.

Interesting! Description of Lebetskaya: “Large lacy white double flowers with a thin corrugated pink-crimson border along the edge of the petals. Light neat rosette of slightly wavy leaves. "

Violet, description and photo of AV-Panakota (Fialkovod)

Panna cotta is an unusually delicate, airy dessert, which is home to Italy. Its permanent ingredients are gelatin and cream. It is thanks to the latter that this dessert got its name, because literally the word panna cotta is translated as boiled cream.

Do you know that…?

The mites are extremely small.Finding them without a microscope is almost impossible. Himself at the top, eggs on the ground, nymphs do not understand where and do not eat anything. Ticks and their larvae settle at the very point of growth, on nascent buds and leaves. If the plant is kept indoors, then ticks should be looked for in closed buds, in the folds of young leaves of the apical point of growth, in the folds at the base of the leaf petioles. In these places, the humidity is higher, namely high humidity is the main condition for the well-being of these parasites. They do not tolerate low air humidity. Tick ​​eggs can remain viable for up to 5 years. It can only be found by the appearance of the plant.

Before buying the violets listed below, carefully read their behavior on the windowsill on the forums. Many of them are very beautiful flowers. However, it can be large rosettes with large and fragile leaves, with leaves rising upward or hugging the pot, form many stepsons interfering with the formation of a neat rosette, pulls the stem up and grows into a herringbone, bending the trunk, rare flowering with long breaks, flowers that fall off or keep a little and wither quickly, very long and recumbent peduncles, the color of the flower quickly fades, they do not like bright lighting on the windowsill, they are afraid of the slightest drying out or waterlogging, a large percentage of sports or the darkening of the flower.
