African violets are native to tropical areas of eastern Africa. It was later introduced to Europe and the United States and has been cultivated in China. Happy warmth. Humid and semi-cloudy environment. Summer is afraid of strong light and high temperatures. The suitable temperature for growth is 16~24℃, 18~24℃ from April to October, and 12~16℃ from October to April of the following year. Daytime temperatures do not exceed 30℃, and high temperatures are not conducive to the growth of African violets. The temperature at night in winter should not be lower than 10℃, otherwise it will be prone to freezing damage. The relative humidity is more suitable from 40% to 70%. The pot is too humid and it is easy to rot roots. The air is dry and the leaves lack luster. African violets need shade in summer, and their leaves are green and green; in winter, there is sufficient sunshine to bloom continuously; adding auxiliary light in rainy and snowy days is very beneficial to the growth and flowering of African violets.
The ideal cultivation medium must have good ventilation, water and fertilizer retention, pH value suitable for plant growth and good cation exchange capacity. African pansy has different requirements for the physical and chemical properties of the medium in different growth periods. For example, during the vegetative growth period, the moisturizing medium (i.e. peat moss) can be between 50 and 60%; during the cuttage propagation period, there is no root tissue during this period, it cannot absorb water, and the medium should not contain too much water. Therefore, medium with good ventilation is the main choice, and pearl stone and vermiculite can be between 60 and 80%.
Don't place it where the sun tends. As long as there is scattered light indoors, it can grow. African violets are very shade-resistant indoor plants, but are not suitable for outdoor planting. The best location is to place them on the windowsill.
The soil is better with good drainage of green pine trees, and mud carbon soil mixed with vermiculite and pearl can be used as the medium.
You can grow in bright places indoors, and the sunshine on the window sill is just right; if you place it in front of your desk, plant lights can be added to supplement the light, which can extend the flowering period and continue to bloom.
The suitable temperature for growth is 15-25 degrees, and attention should be paid to ventilation in summer; if it is placed in the office, due to air conditioning equipment, the temperature will not be too high or too low, and it should be able to grow well, but attention should be paid to the replenishment of water.
If fertilizer is needed, it is best to replenish liquid fertilizer once every 10-20 days and apply fertilizer in a small amount multiple times; phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be supplemented when entering flowering. If too much nitrogen fertilizer is used, the reverse side will promote the leaves to flourish without flowering.
White African violet flower language
Most of the African violets purchased from the flower market are finished potted flowers in 3-4 inches long and have blossomed or buds. After taking them home, they can be placed in windows or places where scattered light is scattered. Watering depends on the dryness of the soil. If there is a water pan, you can wait until the water dries before replenishing the water. It is not difficult to manage.
Pest and insect pest control: Under high temperature and humidity conditions, blight, powdery mildew and leaf rot are prone to occur. You can spray or pour into the basin soil with 10% antibacterial agent 401 acetic acid solution at 1000 times. Scale insects and red spiders often harm African violets during the growth period, and can be killed by spraying 40% omethoate EC with 1000 solution.
Therefore, in order to avoid the occurrence of infectious diseases, foreign infected plants should be prevented from infecting the original plants-foreign plants should be isolated for at least 1 month, and if they do not develop the disease, then moved to the cultivation area for planting; once a sick plant is found, be sure to isolate it immediately and spray with pesticides or discard the sick plant directly. At the same time, in order to prevent the recurrence of pathogenic plants, it is best to spray pesticides throughout the area; equipment, media, etc. that have come into contact with diseased plants must be sterilized or discarded.
The flower language of African violet-eternal love. But at the same time, it also represents her thinness and fragility, and her desire for an ideal destination.
The plant is short and blooms all year round. The flowers are handsome and elegant, and the colors are colorful. Because of its long flowering period, relatively shade resistance, and small and beautiful plant shape, potted plants can be arranged on windowsills and living rooms, and coffee tables are well decorated, making them an excellent indoor flower. The cultivated varieties are all hybrids, and there are many thousands of horticultural varieties. There are single petals and double petals, and the colors are white, pink, red and blue.
Because the appearance of the original seed flower is similar to that of the three-colored violet, with five petals of three large and two small, it is called it. African violets are so close to humans and bring endless fun and contributions, so they are "green pets" worth pampering.
