 Violet, just like its name, is one of the tiny members of the violet family. Although it is known for its "violet color" flowers, which are usually purple and named after it, there are actually hundreds of violets varieties.

 Although it is a herbaceous plant, it can survive for many years when it is well cared for or when suitable conditions are provided for its growth. Violet can grow spontaneously in nature under suitable conditions, and it is also among the ornamental plants that find themselves frequently in homes, gardens and balconies as a potted plant.

 This plant, which gives plenty of flowers, is among the flowers that are easily recognized with its asymmetrical images and heart-shaped leaves. Finding plenty of growing areas in Mediterranean countries, the Caucasus and the Balkans, violet grows almost everywhere in our country.

 As for its scent, some varieties of violet flower, which have a light and pleasant scent, are also referred to as odorless violet, as the scent is felt more specific.

 "What are the varieties of violet?" If you say, let's talk about it briefly. As we said at the beginning, although we all have an image in mind when we say violet, there are hundreds of varieties of the violet plant. Among the best known of those varieties are: Pansies, African Violet, Periwinkle, Mountain Violet ...

 So how to grow violets: Violet care

 Since we know the violet flower briefly, let's move on to its care. If you are wondering how to grow violets at home, let's tell you step by step what you need to know.

 One of the most important issues to be aware of when growing violets is to raise them in the right environment. Although the violet plant likes bright environments, it does not like exposure to direct sunlight. For this reason, it can grow both in a bright environment and not exposed to the sun, like an airy kitchen.

 "Why did you say the kitchen and didn't mention the other rooms?" If you say, violet also likes humid environments. If you think that you will grow it at home, the moisture rising from the dishes cooked on the stove or the brewed tea will be good for him and support his growing healthily.

 Since he loves moisture, you should pay attention to keep the soil moist and adjust your irrigation routine in a way that does not allow the soil to dry out. Using pots with drainage and a separate container under it will make your job of adjusting the moisture balance of the soil easier.

 Remember, another thing you need to know about violet irrigation is that water does not come to the flowers or leaves of the plant while watering. For this reason, you should either choose a narrow-mouthed irrigation door or irrigate directly to the soil with spray-tip irrigation bottles. Otherwise, the leaves and flower will be damaged and the life of your violet will shorten.

 We learned how to care for violet, but: How is violet propagated?

 We learned how to grow and care for violets, but what do you think we will do when we want to reproduce those violets that we take care of for a long time? Although violet replication seems difficult, it is actually a process that you can do very easily after learning these tricks.

 Thoroughly prune the leaves of your current violet. While trimming these leaves that you will use in the reproduction process, take care to have at least 3-4 cm stalks. If you want these leaves that you have separated from the plant without damaging them, keep them in a glass full of water for a while to ensure that the stems are rooted.

 Make sure that the pot you will use is drained, that is, there are holes under it. Then fill the pot with some soil rich in organic matter, also known as potting soil. After filling the pot with 1/4 of the soil, start planting by gently burying the stems of the leaves in this soil. Make sure the tops of the leaves are up and are not in contact with the soil, add some more soil after planting, but do not press too hard at this stage.

 After completing the planting, nearly 1/3 of the stem parts of the leaves are under the soil and the rest on the soil, give their first water, also called life water. Then continue the care of these leaves just like the violet flower care described above. In other words, take care that the soil remains moist, the plant is in a humid and bright environment, and at the same time it is not exposed to direct sunlight. In about 6 months, your new violet plant will sprinkle and start giving flowers. That's it!
