Violet bold party girl chimera, features

This variety appeared by chance, as a result of a mutation, so the plant is considered expensive and rare. There are restrictions in reproduction process.

It is easy to distinguish Chimera from other species due to the presence of a stripe of a different color on each leaf.

Another feature is that you cannot propagate a flower from a leaf; you will never be able to grow an identical species. The variety can be obtained similar by propagation by children, cutting and planting the crown, and from the peduncle.

This procedure is very complicated and the result is not always positive.

Conditions of detention

There are several points to consider:

• temperature regime. The norm is considered to be from 20 to 24 degrees (at high temperatures the color becomes dark, at low temperatures it becomes pale, and the flower may die);
• the need for diffused but bright light (for this, the flowerpot must be placed on a saucer on the north-west, west or north-east side);
• if the windows face only north, additional lighting is required; if they face south, they should be darkened and protected from direct ultraviolet rays;
• Humidity levels should range from fifty to sixty percent.

Compliance with all these nuances will create optimal conditions for violets.

Rules of care

Watering plays a special role; soil aridity and waterlogging are both dangerous. Several methods are used:

• wick;
• regular soil watering;
• pouring water into the pan.

Water is poured into the tray and pots with violets are placed on top, after 30 minutes the pots are pulled out, the water is removed to place the pots in a dry place.

The best option is wick. To do this, take a synthetic cord, one edge is brought out through the bottom, the other end of the cord is lowered into the ground in the center of the pot and sprinkled. The flowerpot is placed in a container with water, where the outer cord is lowered. This system is similar to drip irrigation.

Feeding

The first feeding is carried out in April, using mineral and organic substances. The second type of fertilizer is especially necessary when foliage is forming.

The next feeding is carried out during the formation of inflorescences. In this case, potassium and phosphorus are taken; the use of nitrogen is contraindicated.

The last fertilizers are introduced at the beginning of autumn (mid-September), using funds for this crop.

Subsequently, a dormant period begins, and the plant does not need feeding or fertilizing.

How to replant, what pot and soil to choose

Transplant is being carried out two types:

• emergency;
• planned.

Rules for planned transplantation:

• It is carried out in early spring or mid-autumn, after the flowers have fallen.
• All children are removed, the soil and the pot are replaced with a larger one.

An emergency procedure is performed in the following cases:

• growth stops;
• a white coating has formed on the ground;
• there are no buds.

The diameter of the pot is from 7 to 10 cm for a young plant and 12-13 cm for an adult. The flowerpot should be low but wide. Plastic containers are ideal as they hold moisture well.

The soil should be loose, special for violets. Expanded clay is used as drainage.

To make the soil lighter, add ten percent perlite and vermiculite, and a little wood ash for disinfection.

Diseases, preventive measures

Characteristic diseases:

• gray rot;
• powdery mildew;
• late blight;
• Fusarium

To prevent diseases, do not over-water the soil and do not keep the flower in a cold or dark room. Avoid temperature changes and drafts.

Reproduction methods

There are several options:

• children;
• stepchildren;
• leaf with stem.

In the first case, the baby is cut off during the flowering period.

In the second case, you need to remove the rosette from the flowerpot and use a sharp knife to cut off the side stepsons, which must have their own root and a couple of leaves. The stepsons are sent into containers and covered with film for a greenhouse effect.

Third option. Take a cutting, put it in liquid with activated carbon, after 14 days roots will appear. Now it is transplanted into the soil, watered and covered with film until new shoots form.
