Violets are grown by many lovers of indoor plants. These flowers are unusually beautiful and also relatively unpretentious. According to popular belief, they, among other things, can also bring luck, health and wealth to their owner. There are many varieties of these ornamental plants. At the same time, one of the most spectacular and unusual is the violet Dushechka (Morev's seedling).
Externally, this flower is very similar to the variety Olesya, well known to many lovers of indoor plants. The Darling differs from it only in a slightly more delicate shade of petals. Her flower shape is almost the same.
Violet Darling: grade description
The outlet of this Moreva seedling is compact, attractive, and has a standard size. All the leaves in it are pressed tightly against one another, and therefore it looks very neat. Stem, like any other indoor violet, Darling does not have.
The main advantage of this variety is the frequent, plentiful and long flowering. But, of course, Darling shows this quality only if he is properly taken care of. If the owners will water and feed her on time, she will surely please them with a whole "hat" of spectacular terry wavy colors.
The size of the corollas of this variety is not too large - only about 4.5 cm in diameter. But their color is really unusual and very attractive - salmon pink. In this case, a red spot spraying passes along the edge of each petal. The peephole in the flowers of Darling is snowy white. Thanks to this, the yellow stamens look very bright and impressive against the background of the corolla. Darling is a violet, which has another very interesting feature. As it develops, its flowers become more and more layered, and therefore, lush and beautiful.
Biological features
The peduncles themselves in Dushechka are very thick and strong. On each of them grows 5-6 buds. New buds on this violet appear almost continuously. But the “hat”, unfortunately, usually forms only in the first wave of flowering in the outlet. Therefore, in order to have the most effective plant in the house, it should be given to periodically "rest". That is, after each new wave of flowering, emerging buds should be plucked for some time.
Darling is a violet, growing just a huge number of rapidly developing children. Sometimes they are used for reproduction, but more often they are simply removed. This stimulates the violet in the active development of lateral growth points and abundant flowering. A Sweet Pot is usually chosen small. It also contributes to the appearance of a large number of peduncles on the plant.
How to choose a place
Like any other violet, Darling should be periodically watered and fed. In addition, in order for the plant to bloom profusely and always be healthy, the right place should be chosen for it. Darling - violet, which absolutely does not tolerate drafts. When choosing a place for her, this should be taken into account.
Actually, the room itself in which this violet is grown should be warm enough. The optimum temperature for Darling in room conditions is 18-25 ° C. At night, this figure may decrease by 5 ° C. Such short-term cooling, these flowers are usually tolerated without any harm to themselves.
Of course, these violets on the windowsill will feel best of all. Darling prefers eastern or western windows in rooms. Good lighting is necessary for this grade. However, direct sunlight should not fall on its leaves. Determining how well the lighting is selected for Darling is quite simple. All that is needed is just to watch the flower a little. If his leaves stretch upwards on long cuttings - it means that he lacks lighting. An excess of ultraviolet light leads to the fact that the violet outlet begins to turn pale. In this case, the leaves themselves are characteristically curled down.
Top dressing
Fertilize a variety of violets Ducky should be quite often. After all, it can bloom almost continuously, and therefore greatly depletes the soil. As a top dressing for this plant, it is worth using funds that include elements such as calcium, nitrogen, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur. It’s best to fertilize Darling with a product specifically designed for violets, which can be purchased at any specialized flower shop.
Fertilizing in the pot is worth more often, but after diluting them with plenty of water. In summer, these flowers are fertilized about once every two weeks, in winter - once a month. Actually, the nutrient solution itself under the roots needs to be poured extremely carefully, trying not to get on the leaves of the plant.
How to water
Of course, the violet variety Dushechka (Morev) needs periodic moistening of the soil under it. Watering this flower should always be at the same time. In summer, this is usually done in the mornings, in winter - in the evenings, before dusk. As for the actual irrigation frequency, it depends on the age of the plants. Under young violets, the earth is moistened quite often. In any case, it should always remain raw. Adult plants are watered less often - a maximum of once every two days. Water for violets of the Dushechka variety , as well as for any others, should be used exclusively warm (room temperature) and settled.
Propagation by leaves
Darling - violet, which is not difficult to breed. This variety is propagated, like any other, most often with leaves. Experts recommend cutting such planting material from the second tier of the plant. The leaf separated from the mother flower should simply be placed in a glass of warm water. After about three weeks, he will give the roots and it can be transplanted into a pot. Install the leaf in a glass so that the plate itself does not touch the water. Otherwise, while the roots grow on the petiole, it simply rotts.
How else can you get new plants
As already mentioned, the violet Dushechka (seedling K. Moreva) can also be propagated by children. It is also a pretty simple way to breed this beautiful flower. The grown-up baby should be carefully separated from the mother plant and transferred to a pre-prepared pot filled with soil mix intended for violets. It is not necessary to arrange any greenhouses over the planted plant. Children of this variety are able to develop well without such "frills".
As you can see, caring for violet Darling is nothing particularly complicated. Propagating this beautiful variety at home is also quite simple. Pay more attention to your flower, and then it will surely please you with a healthy look and plentiful flowering.
