How to save violets?
Tell me, I don’t know what to do anymore. There were three blooming violets, they looked healthy, the leaves were good. I seemed to be watering them correctly, but then they started to disappear. The leaves just turn black and fall off. What could this be and is it possible to save the flowers?
When the leaves turn black, this means that the root system is most likely rotting, or the plant is infected with parasites. If you have a clean, healthy leaf, you can try to grow a new plant from it.
Yes, most likely you overwatered them. Try removing the roots from the ground and drying them. It is necessary to remove all rotten parts of the plant. Then replant into new soil. And yes, to be on the safe side, root a healthy leaf.
You can try replanting the violets, placing them in a room with fresh air, but not in the sun or draft. And for the future, know that they do not like top watering, only from a tray. Otherwise, the “black leg”, that is, rotting of the leaf petioles, is guaranteed.
All of these symptoms are similar to overflow or waterlogging of the eyes. Try replanting them, look at the roots, maybe they have already rotted there. And don't overfill them.
I also can’t seem to grow violets; as soon as I notice that they are starting to wither, I transplant them into a larger pot, but this doesn’t help, they still die.
And who can tell me what to do so that the cut leaf takes root and does not disappear or rot in a glass of water. I just have the same problem as the author.There were a lot of violets, but there was only one left, and I just can’t breed that one, although before the leaves took root without any problems. Help, please.
A cut leaf will survive best in the warm season; under no circumstances should you change the water in the container where the leaves are, because the necessary substances accumulate in the water. Changing the water can destroy the leaf. It is desirable that the leaf is healthy. That, perhaps, is all the wisdom.
In my opinion, the violet is a rather whimsical flower and requires special care. Just watering is not enough. It is important that the flower stands on the east or west window. No spraying, drafts or direct sunlight. The plant lives for a maximum of two years, then it ages and gradually stops blooming. It is important to root the leaf before this time and then you will have an heir.
First of all, look at the root. If there are signs of rotting, then it is necessary to cut off the root to a healthy place. It is necessary to remove all damaged leaves. Then you can treat the remaining part with phytosporin. Next, plant the remaining part in the water, but make sure that the bottom part only touches the water. After roots appear, plant in a pot of soil. The pot should also have a drainage part.
You may be watering them too much. Try removing the bad leaves and leaving the plant alone for a week (without watering). Then water little by little, preferably through a tray.
Strange. Violets are not very fastidious plants. Maybe you really water it often. Sometimes I don't water them for 2 weeks. Grow
