Just by the name, "viola" suggests that it blooms with small purple flowers. Its flowers are very delicate and beautiful, giving a romantic and noble feeling, which is deeply loved by flower enthusiasts. However, its blooming period is relatively short, so it is naturally very precious. But to catch a glimpse of its beauty when in bloom, flower enthusiasts, come and learn about its maintenance techniques with us and keep a pot at home!
1. Soil
Violas love soil rich in humus because humus-rich soil allows violas to grow faster and promotes their growth during their growing period.
Generally, you can choose leaf mold soil, common garden soil, and well-rotted manure soil, mixed in a ratio of 5:3:2, or leaf mold soil and ordinary sandy loam soil, mixed in a ratio of 6:4. These two types of soil are very favored by violas and allow them to grow well.
2. Fertilizer
The period when violas require the most fertilizer is their growing period because it is when they grow rapidly and need nutrients to support their better growth. Generally, you can apply a thin cake fertilizer or other dilute liquid fertilizers every two weeks.
Here, we also need to remind all flower enthusiasts not to apply too much nitrogen fertilizer. If fertilizing during the flowering period, you can apply some superphosphate to the violas. Also, be careful not to get the fertilizer on the leaves and flowers of the violas, as it may cause diseases.
3. Temperature
Violas are also quite demanding when it comes to temperature. Therefore, to grow violas well, you must master the temperature. The most suitable temperature for violas is between 18-24 degrees Celsius. If the temperature exceeds 27 degrees Celsius, it can lead to poor growth and cause the violas to lack water.
Moreover, in the cold winter, be sure to move the violas indoors for care, as they can easily be frostbitten. Therefore, it is essential to bring the violas indoors in winter, and all flower enthusiasts should remember this point.
