Let us know how to care for violets.
Violets, which are scientifically known by the name of Scented violetare native to Europe, where they grow under the shade of large trees. They are perennial herbaceous plants, whose growth rate is very high. Are used to revive poor soilsor cover those areas where we do not know what to plant. Its small flowers are blue, white, yellow or pink depending on the variety. As they are one of the first plants to welcome spring, you will be able to know for sure when the good weather starts.

As we said, in habitat it grows in those corners protected from direct sunlight, why it is important to have it in areas where it has partial shadesince otherwise its leaves would be burned. Indoors, on the contrary, it has to be in a very bright room.
If we talk about irrigation, it will have to be frequent, especially during these hot months, so we will water between 2 and 3 times a week. The rest of the year we will decrease the frequency to 1-2 every seven days, depending on the humidity of the environment.
They can be attacked by aphids and for the fungus powdery mildew. To avoid these uncomfortable presences, if you live in a very dry climate, spray its leaves and flowers with Neem oil from time to timeand put a layer of volcanic clay or clay balls inside the pot. In this way, the roots will not be permanently flooded, so the plant will not be affected.
