Good afternoon, my reader. Flower lovers are wondering how to care for violets so that they bloom profusely, for a long time and beautifully. Breeders have recently bred such a variety of violets, in which the flower stalks, gathered in the center, are adjacent to each other, while the petals are arranged in a circle, creating a semblance of a round cap. The effect is enhanced by the fact that foliage is not visible behind closely closed flowers. How to grow a bush with a predominance of flowers over rosettes, how to properly stimulate it to tie new peduncles?

Measures to stimulate the growth of violets
One peduncle grows from one leaf, therefore, to stimulate the setting of new stems that are ready to bring flowers, the following manipulations must be done:
- Remove the top row of flower-bearing ovaries.
- After building the second row of peduncles, it is also removed.
- The third row gives more new flowering branches. If their type and number do not satisfy the grower, this tier is also removed. And so on until the whole bush is covered with flowers.
Attention! Measures to stimulate the growth of violets are carried out once every six months. Then they give the flowers a rest.
Removing the buds forces the saintpaulia to grow faster and helps to set new flowers.
Measures to form the socket
To enhance flowering after cutting the buds, form rosettes, removing:
- stepchild stems;
- underdeveloped infantile leaflets;
- leaves that disturb the uniformity of the rosette.
Removing the substandard shoots helps to improve nutrition and growth of healthy, beautiful and symmetrical flowers. Therefore, this procedure requires a lot of attention.
And carry it out as needed, without starting up your flower garden.
Care of violets in the process of peduncle formation
After the plant has freed itself from unhealthy leaves, weak flowers, it will direct all its forces and juices to form lush and dense rosettes. The flower grower monitors the appearance of new buds at this time.
The process begins when the rosette picks up a sufficient number of petals and acquires the correct round shape. Then it is necessary to observe the integrity of the cap, preserving the new buds and not forgetting to remove the dried, weak or out of the circle petals.
If these conditions are met, after six months the violet bush will bloom with a beautiful and elegant flower cap.
Attention! For a lush and even flowering, it is necessary to remove random shoots, stepchildren and single flower stalks. Otherwise, lonely buds will appear from the “cap”, violating the composition.
The shoots with the buds that remain will grow pretty soon and will delight you with a neat flower cap.
The intensity of budding depends on the season and variety.
Caring for violets during the rest period
After abundant flowering, the violet is allowed to rest. Preparation for the next set of peduncles begins six months after the end of the previous flowering period. At this time, do not forget to feed the flower with mineral fertilizers containing nitrogen, which stimulates the growth of green cells.
Other care measures for violets:
- Extend daylight hours to 12 hours.
- Keep flowers at a temperature of 20-25 degrees.
- Do not forget to replant the plant twice a year: in spring and autumn.
Attention! Violets prefer a low temperature threshold.
Following these simple rules, you can be sure of getting a beautiful flowering plant in the shape of a round hat, which will delight you with its beautiful appearance, color and aroma for a long time.
