In winter, due to the low temperature, no fertilizer is applied.
In the spring of the second year, when the inflorescence is present, the decomposed 10 times liquid fertilizer is mixed with the 1000 times potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution once, or the 1000 times flower multi-purpose fertilizer 2 to 3 times.
After pruning, apply mixed liquid fertilizer 1 to 2 times.
Violets are maintained in four seasons
1. Spring management
The soil should be kept moist and well lit after the temperature rises in spring.
Now the inflorescence is fertilized after the inflorescence, and the flower branches can be cut off after the flower failure, properly fertilized, keeping the soil moist, paying attention to shading and cooling. Flowering can occur for the second time from June to July.
