The violet is a wonderful plant for the home of a careless florist. It is very simple to breed it, and the flower itself is quite unpretentious.
If you want to breed a violet at home, it is not necessary to buy a plant in a flower shop, you can limit yourself to requests to familiar owners of violets for a leaflet "for divorce." The process of growing violets from a leaf is quite simple.
The moment when the owners thin out their violets is quite successful to take the cut leaves from them and breed the violets at home.
For the leaf to give roots, cut the tip of the violet leaf obliquely and place it in a small glass of water. The smallest yogurt glass is suitable, which must be thoroughly rinsed and filled with filtered water (if there is no filter, let the water settle).
After the roots appear, plant the leaf in a small pot filled with loose earth and pour it over with settled water. Remember to use drainage before backfilling. Plant the leaflet in the ground at an angle of 45 degrees, face up not very deep (about 1.5 cm). Some experts recommend arranging a mini-greenhouse at the first stage of violet rooting (cover a leaf in a pot with a film, a transparent plastic cup, etc.), but this is not necessary, a violet leaf that has already given roots can become a large plant without it.
