Violet Shining Bell: Growing and Care

Violet Shining Bell is different in that it can be quite demanding on growing conditions. If you do not follow the constant care, do not look after the plant, then all sorts of changes will begin to occur, and the plant may simply lose its decorative characteristics. For example, these are changes in the constancy of irrigation conditions, the regularity of top dressing, temperature conditions - sudden temperature changes that will not have the best effect on the plant. Also, because of this, the flowering period may be shortened - the plantings will be very faded, the flowers are crushed, and in general the variety will lose its charm.
In order for the Violet DS Shining Bell to develop normally, it is necessary to choose a soil that will have optimal acidity. Usually this figure ranges from 6.5 to 6.8, no more and no less. If suddenly the acidity of the soil is low, then this can ultimately lead to the fact that the plant simply dies, and it can also be very lethargic at first, look weak, even to some extent depressed.But this will become sure signs that it is necessary to take some measures and protect the plant, which means it is worth working on the acidity indicators, introducing some components. Best of all, this variety of violets will adapt in sandy loam soil, and in order to prepare such a soil mixture at home, it is recommended to mix several components. This is land, a small amount of sand and peat mixture. The components are mixed very carefully, since layers cannot be allowed to form, and the plant received uneven nutrient components and substances.
In order for the soil not to cake, as well as to ventilate and be moisture-absorbing, it is also necessary to add a small amount of perlite or vermiculite to the soil mixture. Sometimes it can be replaced with moss that was collected in the forest, but this should be done very carefully, since microorganisms can live and develop in the moss, which are not always useful for planting. Ready-made violet mixture can be purchased at specialty gardening stores, and you can also buy it from nurseries or farms that breed violets.
In order for the Violet Shining Bell to grow and develop successfully, it does not need too much capacity. In it, the plant will strive to ensure that the root system covers all the available soil, and at the same time, then the violet will simply not have the strength to develop a green mass, not to mention flowering - it may not exist at all. But if the pot is too small, this can also hinder the development of the plant - it will be cramped, the root system will lack space for planting, and as a result, this will lead to the flower first weakening and then dying. Death occurs if the florist did not take any measures in time to save the planting and to change the growing conditions of the culture.
Violet DS The shining bell reacts perfectly to diffused lighting, you should not place containers with a plant in direct sunlight, otherwise this can lead to the sun causing plant burns, and the plant will not only lose its decorative characteristics, but it will also get sick, immunity will drop sharply. If violets are placed on windows with a south orientation, then in the summertime it is recommended to shade the plantings, or set them aside away from direct sunlight. If the violet, on the contrary, is experiencing a deficit of sunlight, then this will also lead to the fact that the plant will gradually stretch out, its external characteristics will become completely nondescript and faded. As a result, if the balance in lighting is not observed, then the plant will suffer greatly and, first of all, its external characteristics will suffer. So it is better to take care of the landing and prevent such a sad outcome.
The optimum air temperature for normal growth, development and flowering of violets is about 22 degrees, but some experienced growers say that the plant feels great in the temperature range from 17 to 23 degrees. In no case should violets be sprayed from a spray bottle - they are very negative about this. Also, plants do not tolerate low air humidity, but the grower can independently adjust the humidity so that the planting is good. For example, next to containers with violets, you can put containers with water that will evaporate. You can use household appliances - humidifiers, which will also help regulate this aspect, and the violets will grow normally. You should not spray the plants with water for the reason that as a result, moisture can get on the leaves and buds, as well as into the outlet, and some diseases, microorganisms, fungi and viruses will begin to form, which will provoke violet disease.
For planting work, the most favorable time is the spring and autumn periods. For hybrid propagation of varietal violets with unusual external characteristics, such a method as propagation with the help of peduncles is excellent. If the florist decides to use such a method as propagation by leaf cuttings, then this will not allow preserving the peculiarities and varietal characteristics of planting, and then a completely different variety of violets may turn out, which will have a different color, different growth and development trends and, accordingly, generally different planting and grooming needs.

Grasshopping is guaranteed to retain the unusual color of this variety, and this method is also considered one of the most advantageous. If the violet is less than three years old, then it can be re-rooted. To do this, it is enough to cut off the stem and send it for rooting. Violet growers also call this method of rejuvenation, and this is to some extent true, because you can give a planting a second youth if you completely cleanse it from previous plantings. Of course, all this becomes possible even with favorable care, which is organized by the florist himself.
In order for the root system of the violet of this variety to develop normally, it is necessary to water the plants in a timely and moderate manner. Also, the violet needs to be fed, to create a microclimate in which it will feel as comfortable as possible. Of course, the condition of the plant, its characteristics and the characteristics of the variety will depend only on the observance of these rules and on the care of the grower. For irrigation, use only settled water at room temperature. Alternatively, it can be melted water, filtered water or rainwater that has been left in a warm room for several hours.
Moisture should not be allowed to get on the leaves or flowers of the plant, so it is worth watering using a pallet. But at the same time, it is not worth pouring water, the roots should breathe freely, they should also be filled with oxygen, but they should not float in the water, since this will not have the best effect on planting. The root system will begin to rot, changes in growth and development will begin. Due to illness, the flower will soon die. If it is not possible to water from the pallet, then you can carefully introduce moisture into the root circle, while you should also remember about the moderation of watering. Excess moisture can lead to the fact that the soil mixture begins to swamp and, of course, the logical result is root decay and planting death. When watering is carried out, excess water should go into the sump, and from there already drain the water so that it does not interfere and does not provoke various unfavorable manifestations. In the summer, watering the violet twice a week will be sufficient. If we are talking about winter time, then one-time watering will be enough. In general, in winter, the Violet Shining Bell falls into a dormant state, so at this time it is generally not recommended to unnecessarily disturb the plant with interventions in the form of watering or fertilization.
Violets DS The shining bell should be repotted periodically, since over time the soil mixture becomes depleted, its acidity also changes, the soil can become very dense. All this without transplanting will lead to the fact that the landing will become much weaker, and therefore it is still worth resorting to this procedure, but do it periodically, carefully planning and as needed.
In summer, the violet DS Shining Bell needs to be fed, and this should be done about twice a month. In turn, organic matter is introduced first, and then mineral fertilizing is introduced. When a plant is grown under artificial lighting conditions, then top dressing is applied regularly to maintain the violet in such difficult conditions, and so that the plant always has enough of all the necessary nutrients and components. If the soil is thoroughly moistened before fertilizing, this will help protect the root system from burns, which are sometimes applied by some organic preparations.
Diseases and pests violets DS shining bell

Of course, sometimes the Violet DS Shining Bell can be exposed to diseases and attacks from pests. If you regularly inspect the plant and monitor its condition, then the disease in the early stages will be quite easy to recognize. It is by starting from the manifested signs that it will be possible to help the plant and save it from death. Violets of the Shining Bell variety can be overcome by diseases such as fusarium (manifests itself in the form of decay of the root system with improper care of the plant, and then the leaves gradually rot. To prevent this disease, violets are treated with a solution called foundationol about twice a month. nevertheless, the plant is infected, and the disease is actively progressing, then its rotten parts are removed, and the rest are treated with fungicidal preparations to support the vital activity and planting force); powdery mildew - this disease manifests itself in the form of a white bloom that affects different parts of the plant. The plant can be cured, for this, either foundationol or a drug such as benlate is injected once. The main thing is to follow the instructions for use so as not to cause even more damage to the landing.
Late blight - this infection manifests itself in the form of spots of a brown-reddish color, which are localized on the leaves, and can also cause rotting of the root system. It is impossible to cure this disease, so the plant should simply be removed from the site and destroyed. If we talk about preventive measures, then in this case it is necessary to introduce a small amount of superphosphate into the soil mixture, and also make sure that a large amount of moisture does not accumulate in the soil.
Gray rot - This disease manifests itself as a fluffy grayish coating on different parts of the plant. Then the planting begins to slowly rot, losing its attractiveness. When the disease has reached its peak, the plant must be treated with fungicides in order to localize and destroy the spores of the fungus. It is also better to remove the affected parts of the violet in order to protect other, still healthy parts of the plant.
As for pests, violets are most often affected by worms and aphids, ticks. Scorms - very dangerous pests that affect the surface of the leaves. Very characteristic tubercles begin to form on the leaves, which immediately indicate that the planting was struck by this particular insect. In this case, the violet Shining bell should be treated with a drug called actellik, as well as with actara or phytoverm. As a prophylaxis, you can also use the drug basudin, which, moreover, has a positive effect on the immunity of the violet, increasing it. Aphid feeds on violet juice, and therefore can actively multiply, affecting the entire surface of the plant. As a result, the life support processes of planting are disrupted, the plant gradually dies. For aphids, you can also use actellic, as well as mospilan. Before using, you should carefully read the instructions for using the product, since these are very serious drugs, and if you do not use them in accordance with the instructions, then this can cause even more damage to the landings. Same pincers - to fight them, you can use drugs acarin and fitoverm, actellik. These funds are perfect for direct pest control, and for the prevention of insects and diseases that provoke them. Of course, the health and longevity of the violet shining bell will directly depend on the care of the grower himself, so it is worth keeping in mind all the instructions for planting and care, agricultural technology in order to achieve excellent and attractive, abundant and durable flowering of these indoor plantings.
