Propagate by seeds. In the north, the seeds are generally sown in the greenhouse from January to February. The seedlings will emerge after 2 weeks. Because the root system of violet is taproot, it is necessary to transplant the seedlings with soil when they are young, and let the true leaves of the seedlings grow. Later, it is easy to damage the roots and affect survival. In addition, violets should not be sown and planted closely. If the seedlings are too dense, they are susceptible to damping-off disease. In addition to destroying diseased plants and disinfecting the soil, the seeds can be soaked in 400 times of formaldehyde for 25 minutes or 50°C warm water for 10 minutes before sowing. Seed disinfection.
Violet is often used to decorate flower beds and is one of the main flowers in spring flower beds. It can also be grown in pots or as cut flowers.
