African violets that can blossom indoors all the year round can reproduce dozens of pots in one pot.

This kind of plant that can blossom all the year round indoors is the African violet. it is also called African violet. it is a tropical ornamental potted plant that likes a warm and humid environment. it has a very long flowering period and can blossom all the year round in warm areas. it can also blossom as long as it is given proper light in winter.

African violets can be kept anywhere indoors, and they can grow well as long as they are bright, ventilated and warm and humid.

And it has a wide variety, a variety of colors, a great ornamental, and can continue to reproduce. Later, how to use its leaf cuttings to propagate will be described in detail.

Summer conservation of African violets must avoid exposure, shade maintenance, appropriate to give a little scattered light, keep on the windowsill, maintain ventilation, the soil is slightly moist without stagnant water, the temperature is kept between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius, it is best to spray water on the ground when the temperature is too high.

Spray water around when the room is dry, increase the humidity of the environment, and prevent the leaves from wilting, poor air circulation or too dry when the leaves are easy to wither.

First, how can African violets blossom all the year round?

1. Proper moisture

Conservation of African violets is to keep warm and humid, summer is basically to keep the soil slightly moist, can not let the soil too dry, but to maintain a certain degree of environmental humidity. Watering can be reduced appropriately when the temperature drops in winter.

2. Proper light and temperature

African violets are afraid of cold, the lowest curing temperature should be above 7 degrees, and the temperature can be cooled appropriately when the summer temperature is higher than 33 degrees.

It is a more shade-tolerant plant, maintenance to keep the light bright, can properly see the light in the morning, to avoid hot sun exposure or direct sunlight.

3. Potted soil

The soil chooses some loose and fertile slightly acidic sandy soil with good drainage, and cannot be planted with alkaline soil or clayey soil.

4. How to make African pansy blossom more?

If you want to promote the blooming of African pansy, in addition to environmental humidity and sufficient moisture, you also need to apply appropriate thin fertilizer frequently, give average fertilizer for daily maintenance, and give a little phosphorus and potassium fertilizer every month, so that you can bloom all the year round.

In addition, we should pay attention to cut off the residual flowers in time and preserve nutrients after the flowers withered.

How do African violets breed?

1. Sowing:

Sowing can be carried out when the temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. Autumn sowing has the highest germination rate. Here are its pods, which contain hundreds of seeds, which are very small.

Prepare a loose and breathable medium, you can mix peat soil, perlite and vermiculite, then spread the seeds evenly on the soil, carefully water the soil to moisten the soil, cover the film, poke a few holes in the film appropriately, and put it in a ventilated and shaded place. it can sprout and take root in a week, and then lift the film to keep the soil moist and see light properly.

2. Leaf cutting propagation

As shown in the picture below, if you cut off some thick and strong leaves, the rooting rate of the old leaves will be very low, so it is best to choose young and strong leaves for leaf insertion and reproduction.

The cut leaves are sealed in a film bag for 5 minutes, then the soil is slightly moist, the petiole is obliquely inserted in the soil, covered, properly ventilated every day, maintain a warm and humid environment, and can take root and sprout in a few weeks.

Seedlings will slowly grow on the petiole, keep the soil moist, remove the cover, and then the seedlings will grow slowly, and the mother leaves will slowly turn yellow and wither.

When the seedlings grow bigger, they can split, some grow a lot of lateral buds, directly cut with a blade, you can plant a lot of pots.

Transplant directly with soil when transplanting, seedlings transplanting should be careful, do not hurt the rhizome.
