The flowering of violets, which takes place in autumn and in mild winter periods, can become truly exceptional if we add a drop of a natural ingredient.
To discover this incredible solution, just continue reading the article and find out which natural product it is.
Violets, a winter flower
Violets are perfect for embellishing indoor environments, patios or gardens. Its name identifies the color of the flower in general, although in some varieties the color white is also present.
Violets, in addition to being beautiful and very ornamental, give off a slight scent. To grow this plant or if you already have a violet at home, follow the advice provided in the article.
So today we are talking about violets, that plant that grows that is born in the autumn period and with the mildest winters, like the one we are currently experiencing.
We must learn to understand how they should be treated, if we want them beautiful and luxuriant, what to do to be able to make them bloom for a long time and how in practice it is possible to make them grow quickly.
Climatic conditions
Let’s start by considering the needs of violet, a type of plant that requires plenty of water and moisture, as well as living in a warm temperature. It must be borne in mind that it is a flower native to the most tropical areas, so climatic conditions are essential for good growth.
Irrigation
Knowing that they need a lot of water, it is important that the soil in which they are planted is always moist. Consequently,watering two or three times a week should be watered. Checking with your fingers by “testing” the degree of moisture in the soil helps.
Watering must be carried out with warm water. Therefore, you should avoid using cold water, as it may cause dark spots on the leaves.
Sun exposure
The violet is an indoor and outdoor plant, however, direct sunlight is not very advisable, although it is necessary that they receive a little light in order to bloom strongly, otherwise their flowers will be very weak.
The ideal is to keep it in shady areas, but not cool, but warm and partially exposed to light. Remember: too much light can cause the flower to wilt or even burn. An event that can be seen by observing its leaves with a yellow tint.
A bright and ideal place in the house is behind the window with curtains, so it does not receive direct sunlight which damages the violets.
Garlic, an ideal phytonutrient for violets
Also known as phytochemicals, phytonutrients are chemicals found in plants that give them color and flavor.
In addition, they protect them from ultraviolet rays, help them fight bacterial, viral and fungal infections and allow them to overcome environmental stresses and stresses.
We can prepare an effective phytonutrient for our violets at home using a clove of garlic, useful for its antibiotic and antibacterial properties.
For this natural solution all we have to do is clean a clove of garlic and remove its outer skin, so after making it into small pieces it must be placed in a glass container, together with a glass full of water.
Once the jar is closed, we will let it rest overnight, this amount will be enough for 3 or 4 seedlings. However, it should not stay longer than one night, so as not to become too loaded, you would run the risk of damaging the plant.
In the morning this solution will be filtered and the clove will be reused again for other seedlings. With this garlic-enhanced water we will proceed to sprinkle the soil with the violets with a teaspoon, being very careful not to wet both the leaves and the flowers.
Alternatively, we can pour this solution into a large saucer and place the plants on it, which will thus absorb the water enriched with minerals and precious substances for the violet.
Violets with this natural product not only grow by flowering in a faster way, but also healthy with their beautiful dark green leaves.
It must be remembered that for the soil of violets it must be soft, not hard so we must add peat to the soil when we repot them.
