Reproduction violets

There are several types of breeding methods for violets:

1. Rooting violet leaf in water - cutting the stem of a violet along an oblique line, and the larger the resulting cut is, the more roots will be able to form, we place the leaf in a container with boiled water to a depth of no more than 2 cm, while trying to ensure that the lowest edge of the leaf does not touch the water.

The appearance of the roots occurs within one or two weeks. The leaf may begin to rot, the cut must be updated and put in another container with fresh water.

2. Sowing seeds. This method is more complicated. Seed germination is quite long, with this method of sowing violets can be carried out throughout the year, provided sufficient lighting in the short winter days.

3. Kids violets - appear at the base of the mother plant and can be separated into other containers when reaching a diameter of 5 cm. The ground for the children should be crumbly, they should be watered only a day after seating, and the first time they are kept under the package to create the desired microclimate.
