Planting and growing conditions of violets Chic poppy
Chic poppy requires a special attitude and increased attention to yourself, it is difficult to create suitable conditions, but its appearance is amazing and worth all the effort.
Parameter | Conditions |
| Location | A lot of light is needed, but keep away from direct sunlight to prevent burns. The west or east side is the best location. From the southern flower will have to cover in the summer. |
| Lighting | It is necessary for flowering and preserving the beauty of rosettes. In low light, the cuttings stretch. With excess - the lower leaves are wrapped, which also leads to a loss of decorativeness. Daylight hours are at least 12 hours, so additional lighting is shown in winter. |
| Temperature | Optimal - + 19 ... +23 ° С. Avoid sudden fluctuations. |
| Humidity | Not lower than 50%. In the cold period, additional humidification is necessary. You can put water in an open bowl near the flower. |
| Priming | A specially prepared substrate is on sale, but various mixtures can also be prepared:
The soil should be slightly acidic (up to 6.5) or neutral 7.0. Soil is replaced approximately 1 time per year. To protect against fungal diseases, mix activated carbon or sphagnum moss into the soil. To destroy spores of fungi and other pests before planting, the soil is heated in the microwave, in the oven or spilled with boiling water. |
| Pot | 3 times less than the outlet. Do not need a lot of land. Plastic is suitable, but if there are holes in the bottom of the drainage pot, necessary to prevent stagnation of water and the development of rot on the roots. It can be expanded clay, pebbles, small gravel, broken brick. Frequent transplantation into a more suitable pot is necessary. |
Mr. Summer resident warns: proper watering for violets Chic poppy
This plant does not tolerate overflow or drying of the substrate.
If heavily waterlogged in hot weather, it can die from a bacterial infection that spreads quickly through the leaves.
The delicate parts of the flower are also affected by the ingress of water on them. Therefore, the following irrigation measures must be observed:
- water must be defended or filtered;
- soften hard with oxalic acid 0.5 tsp on 6 l .;
- be sure to fill up the drainage before landing;
- prevent stagnation of liquid in the container under the pot;
- violet must not be sprayed.
Watering methods:
- Top of a watering can, but avoid droplets on the plant.
- Bottom watering: the pot is placed in a pan with water for half an hour, after which it is removed.
- Through the wick. During planting, stretch part of the cord through the drainage and the ground, plant a flower. Then place the pot over the container with water so that the wick is in the liquid and the bottom does not come into contact with it. As a result, soil moisture will be maintained at an optimal level.
Topping violets Chic poppy
It is carried out by finished liquid fertilizers. During the flowering period must be applied every week. If in winter the appropriate conditions are not provided: temperature and light conditions, 1 time in 30 days is enough.
During the growing season, young violets require nitrogen compounds, and for mature flowers preparing for flowering, phosphorus and potassium are needed.
If the violet was properly looked after, watered and fed in a timely manner, but the plant is still exhausted, you need to check the acidity of the soil. If you deviate from a slightly acid reaction in one direction or another, the ability of the senpolia to absorb in full nutrients from the earth is lost.
Trimming violets Chic poppy
For quick rooting, the lower leaves, as well as peduncles, are removed from the outlet. Placed in water or in the soil, it releases roots.
In an adult, overgrown and diseased leaves, peduncles with faded flowers are cut off. With strong growth, sockets are removed.
Transplant violets Chic poppy
It is done in early spring and in October. You can not transplant flowering plants. With excessive watering and slow growth, an unscheduled procedure is performed. Earth does not need much, the pot is selected in 1/3 of the size of the outlet. 24 hours before transplanting, the violet is watered. Then a healthy plant is transferred with a lump of earth into a prepared pot, in moist soil. If there are rotten roots, old, diseased leaves, then they are removed. After transplanting, do not water 48-72 hours. It is allowed to put the flower under a jar to preserve high humidity.
