To do this, you need to fill the seedling containers (individual pots or a common container for several plants) with soil intended for flowers.
Distribute the viola seeds over the entire area and cover with a small layer of soil.
The container must be covered with glass to create a greenhouse effect.

The crops are placed in a place protected from direct sunlight, away from the heating system and radiators. Maintaining the temperature regime (less than +21 degrees) promotes the fastest germination of seeds.

When watering the first shoots, you need to pay attention to the constant soil moisture, but stagnation is unacceptable. When the plant throws out the first two or three leaves, stop watering from above and use a tray, adding water every few days.

After the first true leaves appear on the viola, a pick is made (the distance between the flowers is 6 cm).

Viola is a fairly unpretentious plant and does not require special care. Weeding, loosening the soil, watering (periodically with fertilizer) are the usual procedures.

In the first year of life, viola should not be allowed to bloom., plucking the buds that appear, then the plant will form with a healthy root system.

At the beginning of September, viola seedlings can be planted in a permanent place, after first watering the bed and replanting with a clod of earth in which they were sown.
