Diseases of violets

The name violets-senpolia-has become known since the time when Baron St.-Paul, who was so impressed with the beauty of these flowers, discovered them in the crevice on the slope of the mountains of Uzamba with his fiancée, that he subsequently described them with great delight, calling pale blue Light, inside which a bright light burns.

He sent the seeds of these flowers to his father, who registered them by the name of the discoverer. It happened in the late 19th century, and since then these tender plants have spread so much around the world that today there are more than 15,000 of their varieties.

These gentle creatures are quite demanding on proper care, and if not respected, they may take offense and get sick. How can we recognize the diseases of violets and understand the signals they give?

Many people today have these flowers at home, plant them, take care of them and water them. But sometimes there comes such a time that the violet suddenly dies. Although it is generally believed that care of the polish is not more difficult than that of other indoor plants, however, in fact, there are some characteristics of care for these flowers. And if they are not respected, some diseases of violets may appear, which, as a rule, arise due to improper irrigation, substrate selection, insufficient lighting and unstable temperature regime.

If there are translucent spots on the leaves of senpolia, then this is also a sign that the violet is sick. The reason may be increased watering, which results in the oxidation of the soil in the pot. In this case, you need to reduce it and make sure that the droplets of water do not fall on the delicate leaves, and also do not spray the plant under the sun.

One of the varieties of violet disease is the yellowing of leaflets, this is a consequence of too bright illumination of the plant. It is necessary to rearrange the pot of flowers in such a place that the sun's rays do not directly fall on the outlet. If necessary, you can feed the sperpium with a weakly concentrated fertilizer.

As a rule, the lower tier of leaflets of a violet rosette live no more than a year, and then they must be removed. If they die earlier, this is the first sign that the violet began to rot the roots and stem. If you look at the plant. Then you can see that the leaves have become sluggish and dull, although the earth in the pot is always damp. The cause of this disease can be an improper substrate, low temperature, copious watering or too large a pot. To save the flower, it must be transplanted into fresh soil.

There are violets in the violet caused by various pests - mealybug and whitefly, the larvae of which sometimes can be found on the underside of the leaves. To fight these small flying insects, you need to spray with special insecticides, beforehand cleaning the cloth.

Violet, whose diseases are quite diverse, can start to drop flowers. Usually this happens with dry and hot air in the room, especially if the store from which the flower was purchased was wet and cool.

Sometimes Saint-Petersburg simply does not blossom, although at first glance it has enough healthy leaves. As a rule, it happens in the winter when sun rays do not enter the room. It is necessary to create artificial light for the flower, by lighting it with a conventional light bulb.

Such diseases of violets, as the fall of their buds or the drying of flowers, are the result of sharp temperature changes, as well as drafts. It is necessary to make sure that the temperature and humidity in the room are stable, and during this period, do not feed the plant.

If all these conditions are met, disease can be avoided. And then these delicate florets can please you with their flowering all year round.
