Breeding methods of violets Sea wolf
The best results are obtained by reproduction of this variety by stepchildren. The mother's socket gives a lot of children, and when transplanted, they are separated with an awl and planted in separate pots. Babies have their own root system, so they quickly start growing and give the first flowers after 5 months.
The variety also reproduces well with leafy cuttings. For rooting, take the leaves directly under the peduncles. The leaves of the lower row are too old, so they are not suitable for reproduction.
Learn how to properly grow Reigning beauty violets and how to care for them.
We offer for reading a full review of the violet variety Your Majesty.
Cuttings can be rooted in water. A mixture of moss and vermiculite and in a potting mix. When rooting in water, roots are first grown on the handle 1.5-2 centimeters long, and then the leaf is placed in the soil mixture. Rooting a violet leaf in water makes it possible to control the process and take timely measures in case of rotting of the cutting.
Violet varieties Sea wolf are usually propagated by children.
To prevent the stalk from rotting, when placed in water, it should not touch the bottom and walls of the dishes. An activated carbon tablet must be added to the water. The cutting depth is no more than 1.5 centimeters. If decay processes have nevertheless begun at the tip, you need to make a fresh cut at an angle of 45 degrees, replace the water, rinse the container and re-place the leaf in it.
Features of reproduction by a peduncle
The guaranteed way to get an exact copy of the parent violet Sea wolf is to reproduce with a peduncle.The bud at rest is located in the axils of the bracts, and after the bud wilting, it remains dormant. Rooting the peduncle allows you to get this bud for reproduction. The breeding method is absolutely harmless for violets, so you should not neglect it to get a new copy.
For rooting, a blossoming flower with stipules is chosen and cut off from the peduncle. A peduncle with an unblown bud is not suitable for rooting, since the budding has not yet occurred in it. The lower part is cut off, leaving 1 centimeter below the stipules. The middle part of the cut peduncle is rooted.
The rooting substrate is made up of vermiculite, sphagnum moss and peat tablets. A peat tablet is soaked until it swells completely, freed from the mesh, kneaded and mixed with vermiculite and moss.
Rooting of the violet peduncle allows you to preserve all the maternal qualities of the variety.
A cut peduncle is placed in the prepared mixture to the level of the leaves. From above, the planted peduncle is covered with a transparent cap and placed under the lamp. A stable temperature for successful rooting is maintained for three weeks. When condensate appears on the walls of the greenhouse, short-term ventilation is used.
Growing features
A violet will be healthy and beautiful only if you follow the rules for its content.
Soil and pot
The substrate - the soil on which Saintpaulia is grown, should be light and moisture-consuming. It includes the following components:
- horse peat;
- vermiculite;
- perlite;
- coke fiber;
- charcoal;
- black soil.
The soil should contain a sufficient amount of trace elements necessary for violets:
- phosphorus;
- nitrogen;
- potassium.
The rate of soil acidity is pH 5-5.5. The loose soil structure provides free air flow to the roots. For two months after planting, the plant is provided with everything it needs. Then, once every two weeks, a complex mineral fertilizer, dissolved in water for irrigation, is applied.
When choosing a container for Saintpaulia, remember that it is not recommended to use large pots, the rosette grows strongly in them, and the flowering is weak. In a container of small diameter (9-12 cm), the violet blooms faster. There is a rule: the diameter of the rosette should be three times the diameter of the pot.
Lighting
In general, the violet, which is not capricious, is demanding on lighting. The north side or direct rays will not work for her. The best option for placing a pot is southeast and east. The bright sun is the enemy of the violet, it gets burns on the leaves, which spoil the decorative appearance of the plant. Lighting should be diffused. In winter, the lack of natural light is compensated by fluorescent lamps. The lamp is placed at a height of 20-25 cm from the top of the saintpaulia.
Watering
To moisten the plant, clean (settled) warm water is taken. Using cold liquid will cause root rot. Watering is carried out on the ground or from a pallet through a drainage hole. In the first case, leaves and flowers cannot be wetted. During the growing season from spring to autumn, the plant needs more moisture. In winter, you can moisturize it less often. The need for watering is determined by the top layer of the soil, if it is 1.5 cm dry, then it is time to moisten the plant.
Violets are sensitive to environmental conditions; for normal development, they need an air humidity of at least 50-60%. In the summer or after switching on the heating, the humidity decreases. During this period, plant pots are placed in a tray filled with damp pebbles or moss.
Bloom
The color and size of the Saintpaulia petals can vary from flowering to flowering. The ratios of white and lilac shades are affected by conditions of detention, agrotechnical measures. But even with the same care, the buds are different. They are affected by the condition of the root system, the degree of acidification of the soil. At the beginning of flowering, the color of the flower is white, gradually crimson or lilac strokes appear.The buds on the peduncle do not bloom at the same time. One is already withering, and the other is just opening the petals. Under the weight of large flowers, the peduncles fall to the leaves.
Peduncles are formed in the axils of the leaves, therefore, for abundant flowering with large buds, you need to take care of the health of the outlet. To form it, you need a good soil and a properly selected pot. Feeding with nitrogen will help. A multi-tiered rosette with symmetrical rows of leaves will delight you with abundant flowering. After laying the buds, it is recommended to water the violet with a solution containing potash fertilizers.
Rejuvenation
The “Ice Rose” violet, as seen in the photo, reaches its peak of attractiveness by the age of 2.5 years. After that, the plant grows an elongated trunk, which cannot be hidden during transplantation. When Saintpaulia turns over three years old, its flowers become smaller. Stepsons and children grow, making the outlet sloppy. These are signs of old age. The flower needs to be rejuvenated. To do this, cut off the top of the rosette and root it in water or soil. This method is effective in rescuing violets with rotten roots.
Description of the species
Features and differences from other types of violets
This "kite" looks more like an eagle in its dimensions. Large standard. Confirmation of belonging to this category is the size of the rosette (about 40 cm) and the flower (up to 9 cm), the largest among blue violets. Half-bell stars are distinguished by a rare color of the petals. Unassuming, content with little in caring.
Leaves
The rosette of solid size is neat, neat, symmetrical, thanks to densely packed leaves. They are powerful, somewhat reminiscent of burdocks, but darker, glossy, with a well-defined corrugation, a scalloped edge and a burgundy underside. With age, violet leaves can bend, standing on the bridge, and hide the pot in their arms.
Flowers
In a thicket of mossy leaves, a lilac-blue brush is in contrast. Each flower is double or semi-double, with a spider web of lines thrown over. As if woven from the most delicate thin fabric, it sways with a funny pompom on low, elastic peduncles. But in the first flowering, a fragile violet can scatter corollas - there is no strength to keep the splendor of blue clouds. An adult Sea Wolf is a pretty painted handsome man, pleasing with abundant, long flowering.

Huge (6-7 cm) semi-double, wavy, bright blue semi-bell stars with a mesh pattern.
Dark green leaves. The leaves are large, like burdocks, grow and bend inward (not spoon-shaped, but vice versa), like hemispheres. New leaves grow even, and only then they begin to curl up. Standard. Neat, even, symmetrical socket. The foliage loves to hug the pot, as if in a semicircle down. The rosette is large - under 40 cm.
Very large flowers, in the first flowering without any effort gives flowers of 7-8 centimeters, sometimes grow up to 9 cm. Terry is more manifested in the next flowering, the rosette needs to grow up. There are lines that are very double, lush, and there are semi-double ones. A beautiful combination of dark leaves with a delicate color of flowers.
Such huge double flowers do not hold flower stalks, they literally lie on the outlet. In the first bloom, it always gives long stalks, and the appearance is disheveled. In subsequent flowering, peduncles are shorter. Often gives unpainted and stripes.
Sea wolf - this is the name of a seasoned, experienced sailor.
Do you know that…?
With wick watering, all processes proceed faster, violets grow leaves faster, lay buds. The leaves themselves become shiny, glossy, drops do not fall on them, as with ordinary watering, so the violets look neat and neat.In winter, due to the high dryness of the air during wick irrigation, the substrate is evenly wetted: the top layer dries up and moisture immediately rises from below. You can leave the violets for a long time (several weeks), for example, while on vacation. Wick watering is especially important when growing miniature Saintpaulias. These violets are usually planted in small pots, no more than 5-6 cm in diameter. In this regard, the earthy clod dries out very quickly, which entails an increase in the frequency of watering. With wick irrigation, water will constantly evaporate from the tanks with the solution, which will create additional humidity in the air next to 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.
Are they suitable for your windowsill and the conditions you can create for them? You will be looking at flowers for several months, and the rosette is always in front of your eyes.

Memo for a beginner!
The Uzambara (Uzumbar) violet is a plant of the Gesneriev family; it grows in the natural environment of the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa, Eastern Australia, South America and the islands of the Indian Ocean.
Saintpaulia is a plant named after the father and son of Saint-Paul, who brought a plant unknown to Europeans from the Uzambara district (modern Tanzania) in the 19th century, presented for the first time at the international flower exhibition in Ghent in 1893.
Indoor violet is one of the most popular plants in indoor floriculture since 1927. By 1949 more than 100 varieties were bred, and today their number exceeds several thousand.
Rooting - possibly in water, substrate, moss.
Priming - purchased soil or a mixture of leaf, coniferous, turf and peat land in a ratio of 3: 1: 2: 1 with the addition of disintegrants (perlite, vermiculite, river sand, crushed sphagnum moss.
Lighting - it is best to put flower pots on the western or eastern windows. In order for the plant to be evenly illuminated from all sides, the pots are periodically turned. In winter, when daylight hours decrease, you can use artificial lighting - fluorescent lamps.
Care is a real art and serious painstaking work at the same time, including watering, feeding, creating a favorable humid climate. Water the saintpaulias as the soil dries. The soil should be regularly moistened, but excess moisture should not stagnate in the roots. When watering, care must be taken so that water does not fall on the leaves. Do not water the uzambar violet with cold water. Top dressing is carried out with a complex mineral fertilizer every two weeks.Saintpaulia reacts negatively to the lack of nitrogen in the soil. The optimum air humidity is about 50%, the temperature is 20-22 ° C, without sudden fluctuations and drafts. The leaves of the plant should not touch the window pane. Removal of faded flowers and damaged leaves is carried out regularly.
Reproduction - planting a leaf cutting, part of a leaf, a daughter outlet. The most popular way is to root a leaf cuttings. Root formation and development of babies lasts 4-8 weeks.
Pests are one of the problems of the grower. There are many different types of pests and it is very difficult to classify them. Among the pests of Saintpaulia, several groups can be distinguished: ticks (spider, flat, transparent, etc.), insects (aphids, thrips, springtails, podura, worms, whiteflies, scale insects, etc.), worms (nematode).
Diseases - distinguish between infectious (gray rot, powdery mildew) and non-infectious diseases (decay of the stem and root, wilting of the lower leaves, yellowing, leaf spot, incomplete opening and premature drying, falling flowers) of plants. The causative agents of infectious diseases are bacteria, fungi, viruses. To prevent an infectious disease, it is necessary to strictly observe the regimes of watering, temperature, humidity, illumination. Noncommunicable diseases usually arise from agricultural practices. They may appear on one copy and not apply to others.
Violet Sea Wolf: care
Violet Sea wolf: photo of the variety
If you create the necessary conditions for the EK Sea Wolf violet, then it will delight you with its flowering all year round. As for the pots, all violets prefer slightly flat containers, because their root system is superficial, they do not need recesses. You need to start with a pot of 7-9 cm, then transplant it into a container measuring 11-13 cm in diameter. Violets do not like strongly lit window sills, direct rays, so it is better to choose the eastern or western parts of the house, if it is a window sill, then slightly covered with tulle. With a lack of lighting, the leaves will begin to reach for the light sources, the sockets are deformed, in this case it is necessary to rearrange the pot. Like all violets, the sea wolf does not tolerate abundant watering. Watering is carried out extremely moderately, only when the top layer of the soil dries up. Since the root system is shallow, it can quickly rot in humid conditions. We would recommend using the so-called bottom watering, that is, we pour water into the sump, or if there is no sump, then along the edge of the plant, but not on the leaves and the outlet. If it suddenly happened that you overflowed a little, and the water has already accumulated in the pallet, then you need to pour the pallet and put the pot on the newspaper, the paper will absorb the excess, replace the newspaper until it becomes dry. This way you will save your houseplant from death. Drought also has a bad effect on the violet: the buds are deformed or fall off, the leaves turn yellow and lose their dark green color. If you allowed this, then you do not need to immediately pour a lot of water into the pot, since the root system could crack during fasting, so we water it in small portions, but often. And in this way you will completely restore the flower. The violet leaves, as you know, are covered with small villi, so they cannot be sprayed or wiped. When spraying, water can linger on the villi, and it will create a mirror effect, as a result of which the leaves will receive sunburn. And when rubbed, the villi can be damaged, as a result of which the leaves themselves. This can provoke the death of the plant. To maintain optimum humidity, you can place a container nearby, such as a vase of water. This will be enough for the violet. They also do not tolerate drafts or cold winds, that is, when opening the window, it is best to rearrange the flower pot to another place. From exposure to cold, the leaves are covered with dark spots.And if the window sill gets very cold in winter, then the root system in such conditions may die. The optimum temperature is considered to be 20-24 degrees Celsius. For adult plants, 20 degrees is enough; in winter, it is allowed to lower the temperature to 17 degrees. It is advisable to renew the soil in the pot once a year. Change the pot itself only when there is not enough space. As a top dressing, ready-made mixtures for indoor plants are suitable. Pour them in liquid form together with water under the root.
