Violets often delight only with greenery, without releasing a single bud, even with good care. Most often, the reason lies not in the laziness of the plant, but in the lack of microelements or the lack of a “push” to flower. If the light, watering and temperature are normal, the products from your home medicine cabinet will come to the rescue.
Often violet does not bloom due to lack of diffused light. Direct rays harm her, but even in the back of the room it will be dark. An excess of nitrogen can also be a problem: the leaves grow luxuriantly, but the buds never appear.
One of the easiest ways to help the plant is to use an Asparkam tablet. It contains potassium and magnesium, necessary for the formation of buds. It is enough to press one tablet into the soil at the edge of the pot so that it slowly dissolves when watering and nourishes the roots for several weeks.
Additionally, calcium gluconate can be used. It strengthens cell walls, makes leaves dense and glossy, and improves the absorption of other nutrients. To do this, dissolve one ampoule in a liter of water and water the violet with this mixture once every 10–14 days, not more often.
After 2–3 weeks, you will notice how several flower stalks appear from the leaf axils at once. The leaves will become dark green and shiny, and the plant itself will be vigorous and healthy. The flowering will not be spotty, but lush, with a “cap”, like store-bought specimens.
It is important not to overfeed. Violets love moderation. Combine this “pharmacy” support with the right light, warm water for irrigation and protection from drafts. Then your violet will definitely respond to you with abundant flowering, even on the grayest February day.
