Alain-Samantha

The socket is of a standard shape, small in size. The leaves have small teeth along the edges and are round in shape. Color – bright, green. It is considered a new variety, since it was bred by a breeder in 2018.

Allen-Barcelona

The flowers of the plant are unique. Densely double, in appearance they resemble a rosebud. The color is soft pink with green edges. Before the flower fully opens, the underside of the petals on the bud is a delicate light green shade. The rosette is ordinary, the leaves are medium-sized and greenish in color. The variety often turns into a sport, but the color is preserved, only the fullness of the petals decreases. Caring for Saintpaulia is traditional.

The variety is recognizable by its large inflorescences of rich wine color. Shows abundant flowering. Peduncles are elongated and dense. The rosette is voluminous, the leaves are oblong and medium in size. A young plant has slightly longer petioles than usual; the leaves of an adult violet are compact. The sport variety is also attractive: large double flowers of lilac color, with a white border along the edge.

Alen-117

Violet produces large semi-double flowers. The petals are pink with purple specks. Along the edges there is a thin green border. The rosette is ordinary, the leaves are rounded, and there is a slight wave along the edges.

The foliage is light green, round in shape, and has a neat rosette. The inflorescences form a cap with medium-sized buds. Maintenance and care are traditional.

Attention! One of the secrets of caring for Saintpaulias is a proper watering regime. There are several methods of watering.

Specialist D.Ness

Ness orange pekoe

“Orange tea of ​​the highest grade” is how the name of this unusually beautiful plant is translated. Yes, not simple, but supplied to the court of the royal couple of the Netherlands since 1815!

Breeder D. Ness left behind a wonderful green legacy, including this fragile Senepoly with a perfectly symmetrical rosette and shiny carved leaves.

This variety is unpretentious, propagates well from leaf cuttings, and leaves numerous offspring. Its rich, almost orange color is achieved through proper feeding and good light.

Shades vary from lush coral to coral fawn , and the petals can be different even on the same rosette. Preferably natural. But this violet does not tolerate heat well - its variegated foliage can completely disappear at elevated temperatures.

Therefore, before growing, the gardener should think about whether he can create suitable conditions for this delicate beauty?

"Emergency"

Despite the somewhat “lobed” nature of the rosette, this is one of the most popular varieties among flower growers. And how can you not fall in love with these blood-red flowers with a clearly defined white border! This flower does not change its color even in extreme heat, which makes it stand out from other species.

The petioles are long, the leaves are dark green, slightly arched. The peduncle grows 4-5 buds, but it is not possible to grow a bouquet due to the peculiar growth of the stems - they are drooping, long and grow in different directions.

The southern balcony is most suitable for growing - it is there that the plant becomes noticeably more powerful. This variety is easy to care for. It blooms quickly and luxuriantly, is resistant to unfavorable environmental conditions, and also easily forgives minor maintenance flaws. The only thing that is strictly prohibited is wick watering.

Quilting bee

Curly – that’s how they affectionately call her on the forums. These densely double white and lilac stars, small and graceful, can present their owner with more than one surprise during flowering.

Depending on the ambient temperature, they can be darker or lighter, with or without a noticeable light green border around the edge. Forms an amazingly beautiful foam bouquet.

The leaves are quilted, shiny, wavy, looking in different directions. The rosette is loose. It produces few flower stalks - 1-2, rarely 3. It opens slowly, but it blooms for 2-3 months, to the delight of the collector.

"SK Apple Garden"

It is noticeably different from its counterparts both in the shape of the leaves and the color of the buds. The rosette is 9-12 cm long, neat. The leaves are pointed at the tips, light green on the outside and silvery on the inside.

The buds are semi-double, white, with pinkish tips of the petals. It blooms profusely, forms a lush, cute white-pink cap that does not fade until the very end.

The peduncles are strong, stable, and hold 5-7 flowers. The bouquet does not fall off for 1.5-2 months, the old ones are replaced by the newly blossomed ones. By placing the pot in a cool room, the process can be prolonged.

Peduncles are formed 15.2 months after the previous flowering. Planted children take root quickly and produce flowers in 4-5 months.

When using wick watering, you should never overfeed the plant, otherwise the leaves will begin to darken and the flowers will “float.” At high temperatures in the room, the effect will be the same, and a crimson border will be added to the edges of the petals.

Flowering has to be interrupted by force to give the variety a rest. June is best for this. The plant is replanted and begins to gain strength again. Withstands re-rooting well.
