These beautiful houseplants can be grown in almost any capacity. Even in plastic cups and cans, these plants will please the eye. But such beautiful flowering plants are worthy of a more presentable pot. The best are small ceramic or ceramic pots. Now a little more detail about the rules of care for the violets of the city.
How to plant a beautiful city?
To plant seedlings or short petioles, it is preferable to pick up small pots, then you can expect abundant flowering. For starters, a pot with a diameter of about 5 cm is suitable. Gradually, as the pot grows, the pot should be changed to a larger one. Transplanting senpolia can be done every year for young plants, and then as needed. Very convenient to navigate the size of the outlet. For rosettes with a diameter of about 15, 20, 40 cm, pots with a diameter of 6, 9, 11 cm, respectively, are suitable, respectively. Thus, approximately one third of the diameter of the rosette is the size of the pot diameter.
The plant must be moderately moist before planting. If the ground is too dry, then there is a risk of damage to the roots. But with excessive waterlogging, you simply can not consider the roots.
The florists with experience have little tricks how to properly plant a country. For example, before planting a new clay pot should be held in boiling water. This will disinfect it and will not allow the clay to absorb moisture from the pot.
It is very important to prepare a good drainage. For this purpose, foam, coarse sand or gravel is used. If you plant an adult plant, then the drainage layer should be a quarter of the height of the pot, and for a young plant this layer should be a third.
Such flowers as the synpolia are usually used to expose the trunk. This happens during the formation of the outlet, when you remove the bottom leaves. In this case, the barrel must be closed. But when planting young plants this option is unacceptable. You can provoke a slowdown and decay. That's right, when the bottom leaves are slightly above the ground.
Cultivation of senpolia: tips of florists

If you decide to water the first way, carefully watch the water jet, the moisture hit will have a detrimental effect on the leaves. Often this leads to decay and death of the flower.
A young plant is afraid of drying out or overmoistening. After the water drains into the pallet, it must be removed. Pour water under the root. Some florists perform irrigation with immersion. The pot is put on 2/3 in warm water until the top layer of the soil becomes wet.
Keep in mind that the violet will bloom only when the roots completely fill the pot. Therefore, it is not recommended to transplant the plant into very large containers.
To feed the plant, nitrogen fertilizers will suit well. Florists advise ammonium nitrate. But in every flower shop you can easily find special complex fertilizers for feeding and growing senpolia.
To care for the sympoli it is enough to pick up a window sill with average temperatures and humidity. This plant will be
Senpolia: diseases
If the conditions of detention are not matched correctly, some difficulties may arise with time. When the soil is too wet, vascular bacteriosis (translucent spots on the leaves) occurs and the plant can rot. In hot and humid weather, powdery mildew may occur. The leaves are strewn with flour. For prevention, you should choose a well-ventilated place. Among the pests of violets are often mealybugs, mites and thrips.
