-
BOTANICAL FEATURE: Since the homeland of African violet is very close to the equator, the desire for temperature is quite high
-
Especially in the seedling period, which is the first development period, this factor becomes even more important in terms of cultivation
-
Although it is not a plant that is very tolerant to low temperatures, its first reaction will be to shed its flowers and stop bud production.
-
Optimum temperatures of African violets day and night both in the greenhouse 21
-
26 °C
-
The optimum temperature depends on the duration of the light, its intensity and the stage of development of the plant
-
Temperature rise above 29 °C causes premature flowering and poor development
-
At a temperature of less than 18 °C, the plant grows slowly, the flowering time is prolonged and the likelihood of damage increases as the plant's resistance to various fungal and bacterial diseases decreases
-
Chill damage begins when the temperature drops below 10 °C
-
If the temperature difference between day and night does not exceed 5 °C, the flowers will be more colorful and bright, and the leaves will be large
-
IRRIGATION: It can be done in the form of capillary irrigation from the bottom or by filling and emptying method
-
In addition, top sprinkler irrigation can be applied until the flowering period
-
African violets are susceptible to over-irrigation and it is appropriate to irrigate the root medium after some drying
-
But the plant should not be allowed to fade
-
Otherwise, the roots will be damaged and the plant will not be able to return to normal
-
Water temperature, from leaf temperature 5
-
If it is 8 °C low, cream-colored spots occur on the leaves
-
Irrigation water should be at 26 °C temperature
-
Irrigation can also be applied with a top irrigation container in all stages after planting in the pot by producing young plants from leaf steel at home
-
Before irrigation, the index finger can be immersed in the root environment up to the nail level and irrigation can be done if moisture is not felt
-
SALES METHOD: Shipped specially packaged in a pot
