Varieties of indoor plants: names, what they look like

On the European continent, cyclamen began to be cultivated as an ornamental plant in the 19th century, when the fashion for bright flowering varieties began. Currently, there are several of the most famous varieties of violets.

Cyclamen persicum

In this species, the roots are in the form of tubers - they can grow up to 15 cm in diameter, and small roots form from their lower part. The leaves are heart-like and can be 14 cm wide. The leaf plate is green below and has a silvery pattern on top. The blossoming flowers are pink, white or lavender, with darker spots closer to the base of the bud.

Cyclamen persicum

Cyclamen European (Cyclamenpurpurascens)

In Russia, such a flower is known as the grandmother's cyclamen. It is an evergreen herb with roots growing on all sides of a ball-shaped tuber that grows up to 10 cm in diameter. On the top of the dark green heart-shaped leaves, there is a silvery pattern. Below the leaf is dark red. Delicate pink flowers have a pleasant scent.

Cyclamen purpurascens

Additional Information! Unlike other varieties, the European does not have a clearly defined dormant period.

Cyclamen intaminatum

The smallest member of his family, originally from Turkey. On its shoots, leaves of a rounded shape, dark green in color with silver blotches grow. Flowers can be white or pale pink with no dark spots.

Cyclamen intaminatum

Cyclamen ivy (Cyclamen hederifolium)

This species is characterized by pink flowers, on which purple-purple spots appear at the base of the bud from August to November. In such a cyclamen, flowers appear earlier or simultaneously with leaves similar in shape to ivy leaves. Therefore, the plant received such a name.

Cyclamen Lebanese (Cyclamen libanoticum)

The flower is named after the Lebanese mountains, where it was first discovered in 1895. In the period from February to April, it begins flowering, and large, pale buds bloom. They have small purple spots at their base. The leaves are quite wide, oval in shape. The surface of the leaf blades has a grayish-green tint and a marble pattern.

Features of home care

The main conditions necessary for the normal growth and development of a plant are light, air, heat, water and nutrients in the soil. For Saintpaulia, it is especially important to adhere to the technology and irrigation schedule, as well as the choice of the optimal place for its placement.

The main list of requirements and conditions for growing this plant includes several items.

Temperature regime
The optimum temperature for growth is 20-23 degrees. They can tolerate a slight decrease of 3-4 degrees.
Lighting
The lighting must be intense, daylight hours are long, but direct rays should be avoided. With a lack of light, Saintpaulias may not bloom, and the leaves may stretch to the top.
Watering
Watering should be carried out in a sump, but the water in it should not stagnate. The difference between the temperature of water for irrigation and air by more than 5 degrees is unacceptable. Therefore, water for irrigation should only be used at room temperature.
Spraying
Saintpaulia leaves are not washed or sprayed

The hairs on the surface of the leaves have the ability to retain moisture - this leads to the development of rot.
Humidity
It has no special requirements for humidity, but it will be useful to place the plants near vessels with water or trays with wet expanded clay.
Priming
For planting, use a ready-made soil mixture for uzambar violets or independently mix 4 parts of deciduous soil and one part of peat and sand.
Top dressing
It is recommended to apply complex mineral fertilizing at intervals of 12-15 days in the spring-summer period. It is permissible to apply cow dung diluted 1 in 10 with water, but care should be taken to avoid getting fertilizer on the leaves.

A pallet with damp expanded clay increases moisture

Attention! For all Saintpaulias, the intensity of illumination and the length of daylight hours are very important. If there is a lack of natural light, additional artificial lighting should be installed

Watering

Violets need regular watering at the root. The soil in the pot should be moist, but not wet and stagnant. It is necessary to avoid getting water on the leaves in order to avoid their rotting and the death of the entire plant. For this, the following watering methods are used:

• Submerging the pot in water.
• Watering from the pallet.
• Wick moisturizing. This is when moisture enters the plant pot using a special device, the end of which is in a container with water, above which is a flowerpot.
• Watering with a syringe.

To prevent the soil in the pot from becoming moldy, you can moisten the violet with water with the addition of phytosporin once or twice a month. For irrigation, use soft lukewarm water, which must be defended for at least twelve hours. In winter, the violet should be watered less frequently.

Care

This Saintpaulia, like the others, requires proper care in relation to itself. The main thing in this business is the right place and optimal humidity.

Seat selection

Choosing a place for Humako Inches is not so easy, however, this factor is the key to regular flowering. The place should be lit, but not in direct sunlight. Excessive light provokes rotting of leaves and petals. In addition, drafts and too high temperatures should not be allowed.

In one pot there should be no more than one outlet, and the lateral processes must be removed. The same applies to injured and dry areas, however, all this must be removed carefully, without touching healthy areas.

To ensure good flowering, diffuse light is required for at least 12 hours a day. In order to make this period longer, in winter, the plant must be moved to the south or west side, while providing artificial lighting. However, in no case should the pot with the plant be rearranged directly during flowering.

Humidity and temperature

The optimum temperature for this Saintpaulia is + 18-24 degrees Celsius. In winter, it should not be less than 10 degrees, since the plant will simply die. If the temperature, on the contrary, is too high, then the violet will not bloom.

The humidity should be at 50%, this can be ensured by placing the pot on a tray with damp pebbles. In addition, sprayers should be abandoned.

Watering

As for watering, it must be regular and at the root. The soil should be moist, but not too wet. In order to avoid rotting and the appearance of pests, all moisture that gets on the leaves should be wiped off immediately. The following methods can be used as watering:

• immersing the pot in water;
• watering from the pallet;
• moisturizing with a wick;
• using a syringe.

In order to prevent the appearance of mold on the ground, it is recommended to moisten the plant with phytosporin water at least once a month.

Top dressing

In summer and spring, Humako Inches should be fertilized regularly with mineral supplements. They should be brought in at least 2 times a week according to the following scheme: 2 grams per 1 liter of water.

Shortly before bud-setting begins, mineral complexes and fertilizing should be used in large quantities in order to increase the number of buds. To ensure the necessary flowering, fertilizers should be half as much.

Transfer

Another important detail for successful plant growth is transplantation. It needs to be carried out about twice in one year, when the soil in the pot becomes depleted. The best time for this is spring.

The pot should be the same size as the old one, and the soil should be made for Saintpaulias. Drainage is a must - it should take up about half of the pot.

If the transplant is planned, then it must be carried out by the transshipment method. In case of unscheduled work (soil acidification or plant disease), full or partial soil replacement is used

It is very important not to forget to check the condition of the roots and separate the daughter parts of the violet, which are necessary for reproduction.

Reproduction

This violet is most commonly propagated by leafy cuttings. It is necessary to take a healthy and mature leaf from the very bottom of the plant, treating this place with charcoal after removal. Then dark glassware is prepared with boiled water, and the handle is installed there. Literally in a few weeks, with the appearance of the first roots, the violet can be safely moved into a pot of soil.

There is also a method of propagation by seeds, but it is used much less frequently.

You will learn how to choose high-quality Humako Inches violets in the store and not be mistaken in the following video.

Diseases and pests

If the room where the violets are located is too hot, they can be damaged by red spider mites. You can fight them by spraying the plant with systemic insecticides.

Violation of the temperature regime and waterlogging of the soil leads to the appearance of a disease such as black leg. The base of the stems blackens and becomes thinner, which entails the weakening and death of the plant. In this case, it is necessary to completely replace the soil and disinfect it with "Fundazol".

High humidity of the soil and air can lead to damage to violets by late blight. The leaves become covered with brown spots, rot and fall off, as a result, the plant may die. For the prevention of late blight, superphosphate should be added to the soil.

Thrips are dangerous pests of violets. They settle on the lower part of the leaves, and the larvae hatch in buds and flowers. Outwardly, this defeat looks as if the violet Humako inches is pouring pollen. All buds and flowers must be removed to save the plant.

Root nematode is another dangerous enemy of violets. It attacks the roots of the plant. The disease can be recognized by the yellowing leaves of the plant. To save him, special potent drugs will be required. To avoid infection with a nematode, it is strictly forbidden to use ordinary land on which cultivated plants grew for growing violets.

Despite the capricious disposition and high requirements for living conditions, this type of indoor flower is worth decorating your home with.

Violet will respond with gratitude to the attention shown to her and will delight you with its abundant and lush flowering

The origin of the violet

Violet, or Saintpaulia, is named after the German Baron Saint-Paul, the military commandant of the German District in East Africa. It was he who discovered these humble blue-purple flowers while walking around his residence. From the seeds of this plant, his friend, a well-known florist, grew a flower called the violet-flowered Saintpaulia, which became the progenitor of all the species currently available.

By the middle of the last century, there were already more than a hundred varieties of this plant in the world. And at present, several thousand varieties of violets are already known, and the selection process does not end there.

Transplant after purchase and during reproduction

One of the main conditions for the full growth of Saintpaulias and their annual flowering is the correct planting of plants. It implies the fulfillment of certain conditions:

• the drainage layer should occupy at least a quarter of the capacity;
• it is better to use soil ready for Saintpaulias, or mix garden soil, peat and sand in a ratio of 2/1/1, respectively;
• the surface of the soil after planting can be sprinkled with wood ash to disinfect and prevent rotting of the lower part of the leaves.

By following these simple rules, it is quite possible to count on the rapid rooting of the flower and its active growth in the future.

The main thing is to follow all the transplant rules

Violet, description and photo Humako Inches (Humako)

Senpaulia varieties of foreign breeders “H” (Humako).

Humako Inches (Humako).

... (Inch).

White flower with a blue-blue broad center.

Light green even rounded foliage. The leaf plates are very large. Standard. The outlet is even, neat enough. The rosette is quite large, but can be grown compact if not allowed to grow long petioles.

Very showy variety with huge flowers. Large flowers 6-8 cm. All flowers are almost the same size. In the heat, the flower floats in blue.

From the first flowering, it blooms immediately with a hat. Flowers completely cover the rosette. Flowers last for a very long time, even in hot weather. Flowering is long, peduncles constantly appear, replace already faded ones.

It multiplies easily, grows quickly, blooms after 8 months.

Among collectors, there are two “options”, or rather, two different plants with the same name. Real Humako Inches - with a straight edge of the petals. The second variety was a test variety, without a name, similar to Humako Inches, but the flowers are smaller and have wavy petals. It was not put into production (as it does not tolerate transportation on an industrial scale), but it spread among collectors. It is suggested to be called Humako Inches 2, Humako Inches No name, Saintpaulia (Humako).

Do you know that…?

Many varieties swim in summer, white, if this color is present in the flower, becomes less. Someone darkens, and someone loses part of the color scheme. Color fading in summer is a fairly common occurrence in the violet world. At low temperatures, violets brighten. The same variety can bloom differently on your windowsill and on a rack, in summer and winter. The same goes for green ruffles. The law of low temperatures works here - the lower the temperature, the more expressive and wider the green ruffle.

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. There are many beautiful flowers, beautiful and neat outlets are much less, look first of all at the outlet! Search and you can find a dozen violets with the same color of flowers, if you are not interested in the smallest details, as a collector.

• - Happy Returns (Volkmann); • - Harbor Blue (Weber); • - Harmony's Frilly Dealy (Harmony's Greenhous). • - Hood Wink (Dates). • - Hot Summer Day (Stork); • - Huron (Eyerdom);

Reproduction

Saintpaulia is propagated most often by leaf cuttings. You can also use dividing the bush into rosettes and growing from seeds. It is worth noting that reproduction by seeds is the most difficult, since it is a rather long and painstaking process.

Saintpaulias can be propagated by dividing the rosettes

Important! You can get Saintpaulia seeds at home only by artificial pollination.

Vegetative propagation

It is quite easy to get a new copy of Humako violet by rooting leafy cuttings. The whole process consists of several stages:

1. In an adult plant, several well-developed, not very young leaves are cut off with a sharp knife or blade, leaving petioles 3-4 cm long.
2. Settled water is poured into a glass container and the stalk is fixed in it so that only the lower part of the petiole is in the water, and the leaf is above the container.
3. After 2-3 weeks, roots will begin to appear.
4. When they reach 2-3 cm, the leaves are transplanted into a container filled with a mixture of peat and sand in a 2/1 ratio, deepening the cuttings into the ground by no more than 2 cm. Next, a shelter is placed.
5. The container is placed in a well-lit place, shading the seedlings from direct sunlight, maintaining a constant soil moisture and a temperature of 21-24 degrees.
6. When young leaves appear and reach a length of 2-3 cm, the seedlings are removed from the ground and planted in separate pots.

Propagation of Saintpaulias by leaf cuttings is the most optimal way. The survival rate of young plants is very high and after 8-10 months flowering can be expected.

Leafy cuttings develop roots quickly

Transfer

For the successful development of violets, they need regular transplantation. A routine procedure is done once every two years when the potted soil is depleted. This is done in the spring. The new pot should not be much larger than the old one. For transplanting, you can buy a special soil mixture for Saintpaulias or prepare it yourself, taking three parts of leafy soil, five of peat and one of river sand. The drain should take up almost half of the pot. Planned transplanting is usually carried out by the transshipment method, that is, with the ground.

An unscheduled procedure is carried out as needed when the soil in the pot becomes acidic, due to a plant disease, etc. Usually it is carried out with a full or partial replacement of the earth. During each transplant, be sure to check the condition of the root system and separate the daughter outlets that can be used for vegetative propagation.

Possible growing problems

There are several contraindications for growing. The flower with its appearance will give clues about further actions. Sometimes there are problems with leaves, diseases and insects. But these are rare and isolated cases.

Growing features

What do leaf problems say?

The appearance of the sheet can indicate a lot:

• yellowing - excess moisture;
• drying out of the tips - insufficient irrigation;
• folding - the need for soil fertilization.

Important! The rest of the signals from the leaves may be associated with an incorrect planting site.

Diseases

The common violet often succumbs to diseases associated with decay of the root system. In addition, it can be affected by powdery mildew, gray rot. The tricolor is more resistant to any type of disease.

Pests

Bushes are rarely attacked by pests. Sometimes ants can grow between the roots. A spider can twist a cobweb between specimens - a common sight for street flowers.

Plant resistance to diseases and pests

Other problems

With the indoor version of the flower, problems may arise in terms of growing, breeding and care. Diseases often appear. Outdoor specimens are more resistant to weather conditions, harsh climates and external factors.

The tricolor herb is considered medicinal and is often used in many fields of cosmetology. Previously, the plant was very popular among healers and healers. Now many hybrids have been bred, which only outwardly look like wild "progenitors". Such specimens are resistant to weather conditions, diseases and pests. The aesthetic appearance captivates flower growers. The three-tone color scheme is especially attractive.

Features of the care of the violet Humako inches

Nursing culture is not demanding. There are some content rules to follow.

Seat selection

In the wild, the flower grows in crevices of rocks, at the bottom of gorges, near waterfalls, that is, in shaded and wet areas. In a home greenhouse, choose a bright place, but without direct sunlight. Ultraviolet light destroys the rosette, leaves and flowers that rot. At noon, the pot is shaded.

Important! They keep one outlet in the dishes, remove the side shoots. The rule does not apply to ampelous species

Cut off dried elements, injured leaves

They do this with care so as not to hurt the peduncles.

Violet requires 12 hours of diffused light. When daytime hours are short, provide artificial lighting with fluorescent lamps.

Air temperature and humidity

The flower grows well, blooms for a long time at a temperature of 20-24 ° C. In winter, the temperature should be 10 ° C. At lower thermometer readings, the flower dies. If the temperature is too high, it will not bloom.

Culture does not tolerate through winds. When supercooled, the roots rot.

Air humidity should be 50%. If it is lower, the container is placed on a pallet with wet expanded clay, the air around is sprayed.

Watering and spraying

Watered at the root. The soil in the dishes is kept wet, but not with stagnant moisture.

In summer, the flowers turn whiter

Watering methods:

• immerse the container in water;
• watered through the pallet;
• with a wick. It is placed in a bowl of water, and above it is a flower pot;
• moisten through a syringe.

To prevent mold from appearing in the flowerpot, phytosporin is spilled once a month. In winter, watering is reduced.

Important! Water for irrigation is defended for 12 hours. Leaves are not sprayed

Priming

Soil requirements:

• breathability. For this, baking powder is added;
• moisture capacity;
• acidity pH 5.5-6.5.

The soil must contain phosphorus and potassium. Potting mixes in flower shops may have an oversupply of them. They also contain parasites. Therefore, the mixtures are prepared independently from peat, moss, perlite, charcoal.

Disinfect before use by calcining in the oven.

Note! After disinfection, the soil is spilled with a solution of trichodermin, phytolavin-300. They populate the soil with beneficial microflora that will fight pathogenic organisms

Top dressing

The flowering of the violet Humako inches pink depends on the fertilizing:

• complex mineral fertilizers. They are sold in liquid form in the shops of the agricultural complex with the inscription: "For Saintpaulias", "For violets". Diluted according to the instructions, watered at the root;
• banana peel. An infusion is made from one peel, filled with 1 liter of water. After several days, watered in a warm place, having previously moistened the soil;
• sweet water. Sugar (1 teaspoon) is stirred in 1 liter of water. Watered once a month.

When the culture blooms, fertilize 2 times a month. In winter, feeding is reduced.

Possible growing problems

When growing saintpaulias at home, many problems can arise. Most of them are the result of a violation of the conditions of care: increased humidity levels, poor lighting, drafts, improper watering.

Important! A violet planted in too wide a container will not bloom until it fills the entire surface of the earth.

Leaf problems

Among the difficulties that can be faced are disorders associated with plant leaves:

• yellowing;
• the appearance of spots.

In the first case, the plant may require rejuvenation or rearrangement in a less illuminated place. You should also reduce the dosage of applied phosphorus fertilizers. Spots appear when various pests appear.

Pests

Most often, the violet is attacked by certain insects:

• different types of ticks;
• scabbards;
• nematodes.

With a low degree of infection, the damaged parts of the plant are destroyed, and the rest are treated with acaricides. In other cases, it is better to get rid of the flower.

Diseases

Humako's delicate violet often suffers from typical synpoly diseases:

• gray rot;
• powdery mildew;
• rust;
• late blight.

In some cases, the plant can be saved by treating with special means, but more often it is recommended to destroy it along with the pot.

Signs of improper care

Regular preventive examination of indoor violets allows you to timely identify the slightest deviations for the worse in growth, development, and the appearance of flowers.

Signs of impaired care may include:

• crushing flowers and dullness of their colors;
• stretching the leaf stalks and lifting them up;
• curling the edge of the leaves inward;
• wilting and yellowing of leaf plates;
• blackening of the edge of the leaves;
• wilting of flowers and unopened buds;
• lack of flowering.

By detecting one or more problems early, you can correct the situation faster with less damage to the flower.

Healthy Violet Humako Inches

Growing violets in pots at home is not particularly difficult. It is enough to follow the simplest rules, paying a little attention to flowers, and they will delight with lush flowering throughout the year.

Description and features of violet Humako Inches

Origin

This plant is another variation of the sensational saintpaulia, however, in common parlance it is usually called a violet. The name of this Saintpaulia comes from Germany, more precisely, from the German Baron Saint-Paul. It was he who first found these amazing flowers in the vicinity of his residence.

A well-known breeder - a friend of Saint-Paul - raised the first Saintpaulia from the seeds of the found plant, which became the ancestor of the currently existing species. Literally in half a century all over the Earth there were already about a hundred varieties of this flower. In the modern world, there are already about three thousand of them, but breeders do not stop there.

As for Humako Inches, the name is translated into Russian as Humako Inches.The first word is the name of a popular Dutch company specializing in breeding violets. The second word speaks about the size of the flower.

Description

In the regions of East Africa, this evergreen herb can be found, growing up to 30 centimeters in height. In indoor conditions, the dimensions are, of course, smaller.

The variety itself belongs to the Gesneriaceae family, to the genus of hybrid Saintpaulias. The plant is really beautiful and graceful, with rather large flowers. Light green oval-shaped leaves are collected in a basal rosette. They also have small villi and are pointed at the top of the leaves.

Violet flowers are white with a blue core. They are collected in one brush, about five to six pieces. Flower petals can be double or semi-double. In the first case, there are many additional petals.

The fruits look like small boxes that collect seeds. The plant reproduces very simply and quickly.

The flowering process lasts a long time (from March to November), while the flowers bloom and become lush, covering the entire outlet. Old peduncles are replaced with new ones.

It is worth noting that in the summer, with extremely strong heat, the white shade becomes somewhat less, the concentration of blue increases at the same time. At low temperatures, on the contrary, there is more white.

Experienced breeders also tend to believe that Humako Inches has two variations. The real plant has petals with even edges, and the other is a dough plant, but it is much more common in stores. The flowers of these plants are slightly smaller and have wavy edges.

How and when it blooms

The Uzambara violet Humako inches has a very long flowering period. As a rule, it starts in March and lasts until the end of November. On rare occasions, blooming specimens can be seen even in winter.

An interesting fact is that there are two types of this plant, new and old, which differ in the shape of the petals on the flowers. The true representative of the variety is the saintpaulia with large simple petals, and the presence of slight waviness along the edge is attributed to the signs of an experimental subspecies. Both varieties can be found not only in private collections of lovers of uzambar violets, but also in free sale.

A feature of the experimental variety - wavy petals

Features of care during flowering

The most anticipated moment when growing saintpaulias is the flowering period. In order to prolong it and provide the flower at this time with optimal conditions, it is worth considering several important points:

• you can not rearrange the pot with the plant to another place;
• watering should be done especially carefully, avoiding moisture getting on the flowers;
• it is necessary to regularly make mineral dressings with a frequency of 10-14 days;
• wilted flowers must be carefully removed.

Another point concerns young plants. Usually, the flowering of the uzambara violet occurs at the age of 8 months. If the buds started to form earlier, it is better to remove them. This will allow the young plant to fully build up its vegetative mass and develop the root system.

How to propagate a violet Humako Inches

There are two ways to propagate this variety of violets: by seeds and cuttings. Growing from seeds is extremely rare at home. Most likely, a florist will not even find them in regular florist shops. The plant requires increased care at different stages of growing, so it is easier to take a cutting from a healthy adult plant.

Gradually, new leaves will appear around the rooted cutting.

Description of cuttings of violets:

1. A strong leaf is taken from the mother plant from the lower tier of the rosette.
2. The leaf is cut at an angle, the cut point on the flower is treated with activated carbon.
3. The cut leaf is placed in a container (preferably dark glass) with water at room temperature.
4. After 1.5-2 months, roots appear at the cut, and the leaf can be planted in the soil.

Experienced flower growers root violet leaves in moist sphagnum moss or directly in the ground.

If you competently approach the care of a room violet, it will decorate the house with its lush flowering for almost a whole year.

This plant is unpretentious, but loves regular attention and care.

Reproduction of violets Humako inches

The plant is propagated by leaf cuttings. A healthy mature leaf blade is cut off at an angle from the mother bush. Select the bottom sheets. The cut is disinfected with activated carbon, placed in boiled water. The dishes are selected in a dark color. The water is changed periodically.

By the end of the second month, roots appear. The leaf is transferred to a shallow pot with drainage and nutrient soil.

You can root the leaf in wet sphagnum moss or directly in the ground.

Note! The seed method is not effective and laborious, only enthusiasts are engaged in it. Seeds are not sold in stores

The flower is also propagated by rosettes, which are separated from the mother bush during transplantation. They are planted immediately in a separate container.

The names of similar plants with which violets are often confused

There are many similar plants. This happens most often with:

• primrose. Perennial plant with lilac, pink and blue flowers;
• petunia. Shrub plant with flowers of different shades;
• deykun. Loves slightly shaded places, does not tolerate drafts, and the flowers are about 4 cm in size;
• streptocarpus. His flowers are like umbrellas, and the plant grows to a height of 30 cm;
• gloxinia. It has purple, white and red leaves that resemble velvet to the touch. Gloxinia is very similar to the leaves of a violet.
• viola garden. Requires careful maintenance. The plant does not tolerate the scorching sun, so it is planted in the shade. The bush has a height of no more than 30 cm.

How the tricolor violet reproduces

There are several breeding options for the tricolor. Which one to choose - each grower decides for himself, based on his abilities. If you need to immediately enlarge the clearing, then planting large bushes would be the ideal option. Seeds are good for next year.

Breeding tricolor

Germinating seeds

You don't need to do anything on purpose, that is, pick off the buds. After ripening, seed pods are formed in their place. Over time, they open up, and the seeds, falling into the ground, germinate on their own. You can collect seeds and apply for sowing in the right place.

Germinating seeds

Rooting cuttings

The garden version of the violet dives at the moment when two full-fledged leaves appear on the handle. The sprouts can be planted in pre-prepared soil or pots. In any case, this option is most relevant for reproduction.

Other options

A similar propagation principle with cuttings is the division of the bush. An option is relevant when breeding two-year-old flowers. Large overgrown bushes need to be dug up and divided into several parts.
