How to cultivate violet 1, soil demand
Violets don't need much soil. It should grow in loose fertile soil with good drainage, and the soil should be alkaline. Peat soil, perlite and vermiculite are mixed in the ratio of 2: 1: 1 as the matrix, which is beneficial to the growth of violets. Water it once and turn it over before planting.

Violets need to grow in a semi-cloudy environment, but they can't grow in a dark environment for a long time. Appropriate soft light should be given to avoid direct sunlight, especially in summer, which will affect the growth of violets. Move them to a cool place in the afternoon and move them outdoors sooner or later.
3. Rational fertilization
Violet likes an environment with plenty of fertilizer. Base fertilizer should be applied once before planting. Top dressing should be applied before flowering in spring to increase the content of phosphorus and potassium, which can promote flowering. After flowering in summer, organic fertilizer with rich nitrogen content should be applied to maintain soil fertility. In autumn, chemical fertilizer should be applied to flower buds, and high-quality organic fertilizer should be selected, which is conducive to the overwintering of plants.

Violet has developed root system and good drought tolerance, and the soil surface should be kept slightly dry. When planting violets in rainy season, attention should be paid to drainage to avoid diseases caused by stagnant water rot. Pay attention to drying and watering thoroughly when watering, and the flowerpot should have good drainage.
