Wild violets grow representatives of the genus, often in the fields, as well as in forest areas or on mountain peaks.
Cultivation and care
The traditional option is to sow directly into the soil in the fall. Freshly harvested seeds of violets are sown at a shallow depth, from above the crops are mulched with peat or dry leaves. Shoots appear in the spring as soon as the soil warms up, they develop quite quickly.
Transfer
With acidification of the soil and noticeable wilting, violet plants are transplanted with a complete replacement of the soil.
The flower is removed from the pot, the roots are cleaned of the old earth, removing the rotten ones, the flower stalks and lower leaves are cut off. Slices are sprinkled with charcoal. A planned transplant is most often carried out with a partial renewal of the soil.
Watering
Violets are quite drought-resistant, but in the heat, sparing them, be sure to water them. They love top dressing with fermented grass. Nevertheless, they do not like top dressing with slurry.
These delicate charming flowers endure unpredictable winters quite well without shelter, they are not afraid of frost without snow, rain in late December, spring frosts.
