Sea Wolf (violet): description
In nature, there are so many different types of violets that differ from each other in leaf shape, color and size. The variety that interests us differs externally from others, primarily in the size of the flowers themselves. Large buds can reach eight centimeters in diameter. Dark green leaves are also large and beautifully set off the blue color of the flowers. "Sea Wolf" - violet, which was bred by the famous breeder E. Korshunova. It has a lot of beautiful species in its selection, and our variety is far from last in this list. Experts consider this view to be an exhibit due to its beautiful bell shape and half-double fringing of each flower. Moreover, each petal has a mesh pattern, which gives the general appearance of the plant a special charm.
Flower care
Proper care of the flowers is necessary so that the violet does not hurt, constantly blossoms and develops properly, delighting you and your guests with its beauty. Very important factors when caring for a flower are:
- temperature condition;
- proper recharge;
- indoor air quality.
We consider each factor individually. So, the ideal temperature for a flower is considered to be 20-24 degrees of heat. If your flower is still young, then a higher temperature is suitable for it, and adult flowers prefer to grow and bloom at 20 degrees. Of course, in winter the temperature may decrease in the room, but you should not allow it to be below sixteen degrees. In addition, the flower should not be allowed to stand in a draft or near a constantly opening door. The content of the plant on the windowsill, which is very cooled in the winter, also negatively affects the development of the root system. In this case, you need to put a stand made of wood or plywood under the pot.
For a flower to bloom, it needs strength. You can give them with fertilizers. In specialized stores there are many different growth stimulants that not only help the flower to develop, but also increase immunity. This leads to the fact that the violet is not exposed to attacks of diseases and pests. The main thing is to follow the instructions for the drug that you purchased.
Another important factor is the humidity in the room where the violet grows. It should fluctuate in the region of 65 percent, but not less than 45. Vessels with water, which can be placed next to the pot, help to increase humidity. But remember that you can not spray the violet with water, as it does with many other plants. It is contraindicated in the ingress of liquid on leaves and flowers.
Watering mode
Watering violets is regular and gentle. Here you need to remember a few important recommendations of specialists:
- watering the violet is advised in the afternoon in winter and autumn, and in the morning in summer and spring;
- water for irrigation should stand before use for about two days;
- the flower requires moderation in watering, you can not overdry or oversaturate the earth with water;
- by the appearance of the flower, you can determine that it is time to water it: it becomes lethargic;
- do not allow water to fall on the leaves and flowers of violets;
- it is better to use a watering can when watering, this helps to avoid filling the flower.
Breeding
"Sea Wolf" is a violet that can be propagated in three ways:
- Reproduction by a peduncle.
- Using leaflets.
- Rooting shoots.
All three methods require accuracy and patience, but if you want to have such beauty in your home, then it's worth it to try. Most often, you come to visit someone, you see a flower and there is a desire to have the same. The best way to get a copy of a plant is to propagate using a peduncle. Leaflets also successfully give roots, no matter where you hold it, in water or in the ground.
Possible problems
“Sea Wolf” - violet, which is not considered particularly capricious, but still some problems may arise. The most common problem is that the flower becomes lethargic and its leaves fall off. In this case, pay attention to how the plant is watered. When the earth is dry, the plant begins to wither, but waterlogging also leads to wilting. Adjust the watering mode. It is impossible to say unequivocally how much water a flower needs and how often it is necessary to water it. Here a lot depends on the size of the container, the humidity in the room and the age of the flower. Observe your pet and work out your regimen that best suits the violet.
