Violet is a very common and beautiful indoor culture. In everyday life, it is best known as a violet, but there is one subtlety: this culture has nothing to do with the violet family. True, with violets, Saintpaulias are very similar in external characteristics - the shape of flowers. In this regard, it will be more customary for us to call Saintpaulia a violet within the framework of this article. Violet king peas, which we will consider in this article, is considered one of the most famous and sought after.
Saintpaulia appeared in Europe at the end of the 19th century, and at the same time it became truly one of the most coveted plantings among many other indoor plants. Accordingly, breeders are also interested in this plant, its history and the ability to create new interesting varieties and varieties. It is worth saying that such works were crowned with success: today more than thirty thousand varieties of these incredibly attractive plants are known. It is thanks to the labors and experiments of breeders that varieties have appeared that differ from each other in a variety of ways. This is the color of the inflorescences, the type of inflorescences, the external characteristics and shapes of the leaf plates, as well as, in general, the species and varieties differ from each other in size.
As a result, flower growers have tremendous opportunities to choose exactly those varieties and varieties of flowers that will suit their tastes and needs. Of course, flower growers also rely on how this or that variety will fit into a particular interior, how it will be in harmony with certain varieties and varieties of plants. But, again, everyone's tastes are completely different, just like the understanding of which varieties are acceptable, which are easy to care for and grow, and which ones are generally best avoided, as they do not quite meet the interests and needs of those or other gardeners regarding violets as indoor plantings.
Violet Wat King Peas has a full name that looks like the violet "Wat King Peas" is a plant that, in principle, has standard sizes when comparing the variety with some other plantings. The bush rosette is incredibly attractive as it is compact and neat. The flowers are spectacular, have a pure white color, and also have purple "fingers" in the flowers, which are located on each individual petal, and give the plant even more attractive and exotic appearance. At the same time, bright pink dots-peas also seem to crumble on the purple fingers. Of course, these flowers look incredibly attractive, delicate, but at the same time very fresh.
The flowers are large, from six to seven centimeters. They are collected in a not very large hat, and at the same time the flowering is quite abundant. Another plus of this plant is that it blooms for a very long time. The violet has large and even leaves that have a delicate creamy border. Spores can bloom in 40-50% of cases, but at the same time they do not form patterns and stains on the petals that the mother shrub has. Sports are children who can be formed when gene mutation is inevitable. In this case, children do not inherit maternal traits, as well as maternal coloration, and this point should be taken into account. But it also cannot be said that this is some kind of drawback, because one way or another there are more violets, they look very gentle and attractive.

Let's talk a little about the intricacies and rules of planting a plant. If the gardener has decided to transplant a violet of this variety, then he should first study some of the recommendations from more experienced flower growers. Knowing such subtleties, the florist will be able to get perfect and attractive plantings that will surely surprise not only the florist, but also the guests of his room or apartment, any room. So, among the rules, we highlight the following:
- pots for planting violets should not be too large. In general, violets are very fond of compact containers, so you should adhere to this rule. Ideally, the diameter of the pot should be about three times smaller than the formed rosette of the bush. Then the violet will feel most comfortable and, accordingly, will demonstrate the ideals of its growth and development, starting from the variety and variety
- if we talk about planting children and leaf cuttings, then small cups that are made of plastic are perfect for them. Drainage holes can be manually made at the bottom of each cup. For an older violet bush, it is best to choose a clay pot, but a plastic container is also fine.
- in a container for planting violets Wat Tsar Peas, you need to fill up the soil, which is purchased in a specialized store, or in a nursery. The soil is called that - for Saintpaulias, violets. Also, in principle, a florist can make the soil on his own. To do this, the soil mixture must include components such as leaf land and sod, coniferous soil, peat. The proportion of these components should be 3: 2: 2: 1, they must be mixed thoroughly to obtain a uniform mixture. The composition also necessarily includes a baking powder, since violets adapt perfectly in light, loose soil. As a baking powder, perlite or vermiculite, moss (both fresh and dried) can be used. Also, moss performs another function - sphagnum perfectly acidifies the soil, and it becomes even more attractive. And violets feel great in such a soil mixture.
- earthen soil mixture should be periodically updated by the grower himself. For this, the soil mixture is replaced once every two to three years, not more often. But more often, you can also do an update, if necessary (for example, if the soil has completely deteriorated due to the fact that the grower did not follow the rules for watering and fertilizing).
Of course, there are also factors that determine planting care. In order for the violet to bloom for a long time, as well as for it to demonstrate excellent growth rates, it is necessary to bear in mind some significant factors that affect the development of the plant, especially the room violet of the specified variety. I would like to start with lighting - the flower prefers that it be in a well-lit place, and the lighting should stretch for 13-14 hours. The light should not be direct and burning - the violet reacts perfectly to diffused light. Culture generally reacts negatively to direct sunlight. In winter, violets should be illuminated with phytols and fluorescent lighting, and in winter this should be taken very seriously, because violets need special support in such a difficult period.
Air temperature - a violet of the Tsar Pea variety is very fond of warm areas, and the air temperature in the room should be from 20 to 23 degrees. If the flower grows in cooler conditions, then most likely the flowering will not be as bright and attractive, the flower will lose its decorative effect. Also, the plant should in no case be under sharp gusts of wind and drafts, otherwise it will also negatively affect the condition of the violets and their growth and development.
Air humidity is another indicator that you should pay attention to.A violet of the Tsar Pea variety needs an environment where the air humidity will be at least fifty percent. But in this case, in no case should you use spraying and spray guns, as they will only harm the landing. You can put a container with a violet on a pallet, into which wet pebbles or expanded clay are initially placed. Another way is to place containers with water near the containers with violets Wat King Peas. about once a month, the violet should be subjected to an important procedure - this is a hygienic shower, but after it the leaves, rosette and stems are cleared of moisture, since it can provoke not the most favorable reactions from the plant, bacteria and fungal spores can begin to develop.
Watering - a young violet King Peas, whose root system will not be sufficiently developed, it is necessary to regularly water it with warm, settled water. But at the same time, the amount of moisture should not be the largest. Otherwise, it will lead to decay of the root system. If the plant is adult, then it must be watered much less often, but at the same time do it with plenty of water. If we are talking about the spring period of watering, then it is best to do this in the morning hours, while the sun has not yet had time to rise. In autumn and winter, you can water the plant during the day. It should be borne in mind that the quality of water plays a significant role in the development of the plant, the water should be warm, at room temperature, settled. You can take rain or melt water, water from the filter for irrigation. When watering, care must be taken to ensure that water does not fall on the leaves or the outlet, otherwise it can cause the development of diseases and fungi. The violet can be watered through the pallet, by the wick method, by the drip method - in general, there are a lot of ways, and the gardener can choose exactly the one that suits him. But it is also necessary to pour out the remaining water from the pan, otherwise this will lead to the fact that the roots will begin to rot and become sick. Some growers use the wick method, but here you need to have some skills and knowledge.
Let's talk about feeding and fertilizing - the violet King Peas needs additional feeding during the period of active growth of leaves and stems, and it must also be maintained and fed when inflorescences begin to form. In the autumn-winter period, the plant should be left alone and not fed, it does not need it at all. In order for flowering to be at a high level, the violet needs the introduction of components such as potassium and phosphorus. In order for the leaves to grow decorative and large, it is also necessary to introduce nitrogenous components. Young plants really need nitrogen. But when violets become adults, you can apply phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, which should also be applied in accordance with the instructions so as not to harm the plantings.
