If your violet has stopped blooming, the leaves have become small and pale, and the rosette has lost its shape, do not rush to throw it in the trash. With the help of cheap funds from the medicine cabinet and kitchen, you can revive the plant and make it bloom in waves all year round. These three simple fertilizing works wonders for any Saintpaulia.
Secrets of endless flowering
Toothpaste for leaf shine. Dilute a pea-sized amount of paste without bleaching ingredients in a glass of water and wipe the leaves with a soft cloth. Violets love clean pores: this improves photosynthesis, prevents dust and stimulates the growth of new leaves.
Succinic acid for immunity. Dissolve 1 tablet in a liter of warm water and water the plant at the root or spray on the leaf. Succinic acid reduces stress, strengthens the root system and awakens dormant flower stalks even in weakened bushes.
Glucose for flowering energy. Dilute 1 tablet of pharmaceutical glucose or 1 teaspoon of sugar in a liter of water and water the violet once a month. Carbohydrates serve as fuel for setting buds, activating metabolism and helping the plant produce several flower stalks at once.
These simple methods will turn your diseased plant into the pride of your collection. Try it and very soon you will be admiring the bright caps of flowers right on your windowsill.
Question and answer:
Why does violet stop blooming at home?
The main reason lies in the lack of light, a cramped pot or depleted soil. The plant needs a period of rest, proper nutrition and a temperature of about 20–22 degrees for the formation of buds.
How often can violets be fed with succinic acid?
Once a month is enough during the period of active growth. An excess of stimulants can lead to the opposite effect and suppress the plant.
