It is important to feed violets for better flowering.
In this article, we will tell you which fertilizers are best to use for the plant.
How and what to feed violets
The plant must be protected from direct sunlight. In order for a violet to grow and develop well at home, it is necessary to provide it with at least a ten-hour period of room illumination.
Lack of sunlight causes violets to stretch out in search of light and produce few or no flowers.
Both mineral compounds and organic matter are well suited for feeding. For example, compost, humus, peat.
Many gardeners also use black tea, coffee grounds, onion peels, citrus peel infusion, yeast and even banana water for this.
Coffee acts as a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen is released from coffee grounds by microorganisms contained in the soil.
It is advisable to add peat during the process of creating a soil mixture during planting and replanting.
To make the soil looser and thereby improve water permeability, additional sand is added to it.
For watering, use only prepared water. To do this, put tap water in a jar, let it sit for a day or two, and then boil it.
