Katerina:
My Pyshechka is blooming, I can finally enjoy this beauty live! I grew it from a leaf that a friend gave me and now, seven months from the moment of planting, my flower has produced peduncles and is now literally buried in buds!
Vitalik:
I bought it for my wife as a gift, I myself am indifferent to violets, but after this one bloomed I even fell in love with it. I didn’t think that the plant could almost drown in flowers, and that the rosette was not visible.
Zinaida:
I first heard about Pyshechka from friends, then I found a photo on the Internet and simply fell in love. I really want to buy it, but we don’t have it in our town, and I don’t risk ordering it.
Irina:
A good, unpretentious variety. It grew quickly for me, and I was pleased with the flowering, but the brown cores upset me a little, although I know that almost all white flowers suffer from this.
Negative reviews that occur are most often associated with the species characteristics of the plant - darkening of the flower cores and leaf borders.
But positive assessments predominate, noting abundant flowering and rapid growth.
Rules of care
If the photo and description of the violet Pyshechka impressed you so much that the purchase of the plant took place, do not relax.
In order for the flower to grow healthy, it is recommended pay attention to the rules of care:
- Since the roots of violets are very delicate, when selecting a substrate it is worth choosing loose soil. The best choice is a purchased substrate that dries quickly and has good air and water permeability. This will protect the flower from root rot;
- It is important not to allow the substrate to dry out completely. Watering should be regular, but even here you should be extremely careful. Too much moisture can lead to rot. You can water in three ways: by pouring water into the container on which the pot stands, by immersing the pot in water, or by direct watering. In the latter case, it is important to prevent water from entering the outlet, as this may negatively affect the condition of the plant;
- When choosing a flowerpot, it is recommended to select a small container, otherwise the flower will grow into leaves, and you will have to wait another couple of years for buds.The material of the flowerpot does not matter, it is only important that there are several drainage holes at the bottom so that the water does not stagnate;
- Optimal temperature is + 20 +24 C. A temperature drop below +18 C can lead to the death of plants;
- Lighting is one of the most important aspects of plant life. If there is not enough light, they will not bloom;
- Feeding is another important point that should not be forgotten. Complex liquid fertilizers are best suited.
Despite the fact that violet plants are capricious, if you follow all the rules for caring for them, they will thank you a hundredfold.
The delicate and abundant flowering of these plants cannot be compared with any other.
