Small flowers fit perfectly into any interior, they are easy to care for. Now there are thousands of varieties, among which the violet Inner Strength. With proper care, it will delight with abundant cornflower blossoms.
Grade description
Violet Inner Strength differs from other varieties in an unusual color. They are blue-cornflower blue with a raspberry border and a white ryushechka. The leaves are dark green, quilted, with a little variegation. It gives elegance to the plant and is in perfect harmony with the white and beige border on the flowers. The socket is standard, flat, neat.
With each new flowering, the color of the ruffle becomes brighter. The flowers are in the shape of a pansy, 5 cm in size. With age, they become larger.
It blooms often, almost the whole year, although it takes small breaks. Moreover, the violet Inner Strength shows its beauty from the first flowering. It produces peduncles towering above the green mass. On one leg, up to seven buds are formed. Each peduncle is a bright bunch of blue flowers. In the first flowering, it is thin and long, but then it becomes stronger and slightly shorter.
Violet Inner Strength is easily propagated by cuttings. The variety is easy to care for, blooms early enough. Compared with other varieties, this species needs more sunlight, then the rosette will be even, and the flower stalks will be in harmony with the green mass. It grows well on wick and top watering.
Watering
Violets are demanding of water. They do not tolerate waterlogging and do not like dryness. Watering twice a week with settled water at room temperature is considered ideal. During this procedure, it is necessary to ensure that water droplets do not fall on the leaves, and even more so in the center of the outlet. To prevent this, it is recommended to water the plant from the pallet. With the wrong option, the plant begins to hurt.
When overflowing, the leaves and roots begin to rot. Sometimes, wondering why the leaves of the violet turn yellow, it is worth considering, or maybe the whole thing is in the wrong care. After all, the first sign of irrigation is pale and yellowed leaves.
If the soil is too wet, the plant will die quickly. Moreover, this will begin with the roots, and then the aboveground part will die.
The soil
For the normal development of the plant, it is necessary to choose the right soil. Ideal is considered a ready-made substrate for senpolia, offered in garden shops. It has all the qualities necessary for a plant: friability, breathability, weak acidity and lightness.
When soil is alkalized due to hard water used for irrigation, the plant begins to turn yellow. Dark green leaves discolor and lose their appeal. To prevent alkalization, acidified water is used. To do this, add a small amount of peat to the water, which reduces the hardness of the water.
Saintpaulia turns yellow
Sometimes a plant loses its color due to natural causes due to their death. For each variety, including the iner stranch, in the second year of life, the lower leaves begin to die. This is a lengthy process, but it should not be massive. Usually a plant drops 1-2 leaves, which is not a cause for concern.
Variety "iner strench" refers to variegated species. At first glance, the leaves of the plant look like diseased, but they are juicy and have no damage. Sometimes yellowness occurs on any part of the violet. It can appear and disappear spontaneously, distributed over the outlet in the form of a mosaic or diverge along the edge of the sheet. All this is considered the norm in variegated varieties.
Location
Violet is a unique plant that is successfully grown in a different arrangement. The pot can be placed on the windowsill, on the table, or you can grow violets on the floor stand for flowers.
With any method of placement, the plant is provided with a temperature of 20-23 degrees. Such a temperature regime will allow the Saintpaulia to grow strong and bloom for a long time.
Under cool growing conditions, some properties of the plant are better manifested. So, violets manifest a brighter and wider border, more buds are formed. If the plant is grown at 30 degrees, then there will be few buds on it, and the flowers will not show themselves and their beauty.
In order for the senpolia to show itself in all its glory, it is necessary not only to properly place the plant, but also to protect it from drafts. The flow of cold air contributes to the formation of beige spots on the leaves, stains, due to which the attractiveness of the outlet is lost. Also, a draft contributes to the decay of the root system.
Optimal conditions
For normal growth and development of the plant, it is necessary to provide the optimal level of humidity - at least 50%. In room conditions, such indicators can be achieved by installing an air humidifier or by placing a container of water near the plant.
A high level of humidity must be provided to the plants that are rooted: sheets, children, sockets after transplantation.
When growing senpolia, it is important to choose the right pot size. In order for the outlet to develop normally, containers with a diameter of 10 cm are used for this grade.
Ensuring proper care of the violet, it will delight you with a long, plentiful flowering, cornflower bud, towering above the green mass.
During planting, it is important not to tighten the substrate very much, since such soil will not pass water well, and if saturated, it will dry for a long time, and the root system will begin to grow slowly and develop.
