How to fertilize violets

Fertilization method

Sufficient base fertilizer should be applied when planting, and appropriate fertilizer should be applied depending on the growth of the plant in the early growth stage.

During the growing season, violets should be applied with diluted, decomposed cake fertilizer water or liquid fertilizer once every two weeks, but be careful not to use too much nitrogen fertilizer, and should apply phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. Stop fertilizing during the flowering period and in winter, otherwise the violet leaves will grow lush but there will be very few flowers.

Applying calcium phosphate after violets have flower buds can make the flowers brighter in color.

When fertilizing violets, be sure not to drip fertilizer onto the leaves to avoid spotting and rotting of the leaves.

Precautions

Violet is a taproot plant and cannot tolerate transplantation. Therefore, to ensure survival, you must pay attention to fertilization. Do not apply too much fertilizer at one time. Pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently, otherwise it will easily cause the plant to grow too tall and affect flowering.

Livestock manure can be applied as base fertilizer to the soil. It is best to mix it with part of the soil before planting. At the same time, watering should be done well. Some German Newland water-soluble fertilizers commonly used for flowers can be applied to fully supplement nutrients, improve the growth of violets, and prolong the flowering time of violets.
