In this short article, I want to describe five main reasons why violets can bloom poorly or stop doing it altogether.
1. Incorrect transplant
The violet will bloom poorly due to an incorrect transplant. If during the procedure the soil or pot was chosen incorrectly, the flower is unlikely to be able to please with its flowering. A heavy and dense substrate is not suitable for Saintpaulias. For transplanting, it is better to use a light soil mixture, which can be purchased at gardening stores. If there are none nearby, you can prepare the substrate yourself from leafy earth, peat and sand. The components are mixed in a 4: 1: 1 ratio.
2. Lack of lighting
Violets are very light-loving flowers, so the daylight hours for them should last at least 10 hours. You can determine the lack of light by the leaves. They will gradually fade, shrink and stretch towards the window. To fix the situation, you need to place the violets as close to the light source as possible. If this cannot be done, you will have to purchase lamps for supplementary lighting of indoor plants.
3. Improper watering
Improper watering will inevitably lead to a complete lack of flowering. Overdrying or waterlogging the soil will stress the flower, which will primarily affect the flowers. To prevent this from happening, you need to water the violet with warm, settled water, strictly adhering to the schedule.
4. Unsuitable temperature
For a lush bloom, the violet should be indoors with an average daily temperature of 18 to 24 ° C. In this case, strong differences should be avoided even within these temperatures. Risk zones for violets are window sills with drafts and places near radiators.
5. Lack of feeding
During the flowering period, violets need to be fed with complex mixtures, which are sold in abundance in stores. This should be done no more than once a week. Without dressing, flowering will become scarce.
