Photo and description of the variety

The socket is a large standard. The foliage is quilted, large, dark green. The underside of the leaf plate is red. The petioles are long and brown.

The flower is a large pink star with blue fantasy flecks and a dark purple border around the edges of the petals. The flowers are slightly ruffled.

The diameter of the flower reaches six centimeters. As the bud blooms, the color becomes more and more saturated .

The eye has a more saturated color than the petals. The flowers remain fresh for a long time , but the rich color becomes paler after several weeks of flowering. Burns out quickly.

If you look at a flowering plant, you get the impression that the buds are glowing from the inside.

Peduncles are tall but thin . A large number of buds are formed on each of them. At first it blooms with a cap, but then the stems become thinner and the flowers fall into a rosette.

It is not always possible to collect the correct bouquet of flowers; more often than not, the result is disheveled.

Sports

The Lovestruck variety is prone to genetic mutations.

There is an officially registered sport. This is Nick-Loving Heart . Chimeric variety. This is a large rosette with semi-double fuchsia stars. Violet rays run down the center of the petals. Also, the petals retain fantasy blue blotches and islands with a lighter shade of pink.

Caring for a plant at home

The Lovestruck variety is prone to fading. The bright shade on the petals lasts no more than two weeks.

In order for the violet to delight the owner with a riot of colors, it should be kept in the coolest possible conditions.

Proper watering and fertilizing

For full development and flowering, Saintpaulia needs nutrients. Violet receives micro- and macroelements from the soil. After transplanting into fresh soil, the need for fertilizing temporarily disappears. But after two months it is already worth making the first fertilizing.

Since the violet grows in a small pot, it is worth fertilizing frequently and regularly . Mineral supplements contain the necessary substances for the development of green mass or flowering:

• when the plant is small, it is fed with nitrogen . This allows you to grow a full-fledged rosette in a shorter period of time;
• when the violet begins to bloom, fertilizing containing phosphorus and potassium . These substances allow you to prolong flowering, as well as maintain the saturation of shades for a longer period of time.

But ready-made mineral compositions do not contain the necessary substances in full. Fertilizers of organic origin contain a greater amount of useful substances.

But they have a significant drawback - a high concentration of nitrogen. This is good for a plant that is forming a rosette, but not for that violet that has begun to bloom buds.

As a result of overfeeding with nitrogen, violets may stop flowering and begin to actively grow. The Lovestruck variety is not prone to excessive formation of lateral shoots, but with excess nitrogen this is possible.

Saintpaulia is not demanding when it comes to watering, but does not like drying out . Since the outlet is very large, the evaporation area is quite large. This means that violet loves water very much. You can put it on a wick or pour it into a tray.

Attention! Water is given only when the top layer of the earthen clod becomes dry.

Lighting and temperature

Violet prefers long daylight hours. It should last 10-12 hours. In such conditions, you can achieve year-round flowering with short breaks.

With continued light, Lovestruck can bloom all year round.

Despite the rapid fading, the buds remain fresh for quite a long time.

At the correct temperature within + 18-22°C, the violet will bloom for several months.

Air humidity

The optimal option is 55%. A slight deviation from the norm is acceptable. If it is too humid, you should install special devices that capture excess moisture.

Too little moisture in the air causes the leaves to curl and the rosette loses its presentable appearance. To fix the problem, place a bowl filled with water next to the pot.

Soil composition

To grow Saintpaulia Lovestruck, you should use fertile soil rich in minerals and organic substances.

The soil should be light and loose , allow air to pass through well and retain moisture well. Without access to oxygen, violet roots will quickly rot.

You can use standard mixtures that are sold in flower shops. Do-it-yourself earthen mixtures are also suitable. There are many recipes for preparing such compositions.

Main components:

• humus;
• peat;
• river sand;
• leaf and turf soil.

Pruning and hygiene

Violet is not prone to diseases and grows and develops well at home. Caring for the plant consists of timely pruning, replanting, and removing dry and wilted flower stalks.

Reproduction methods

The easiest way to propagate is using leaf cuttings. From 30 to 50% of children go into sports. As a rule, the results are chimeric sports with different shades of rays in the middle of the petal.

If there is a need to obtain a plant with persistent varietal characteristics, you should bring all the children to flowering , and only then sell or give away the surplus.

Leaf propagation.

Advice! As a rule, each baby has its own individual characteristics, which can manifest themselves both in the shade of the petals, the duration of flowering, and in the brightness of the buds.

Transplant rules, rejuvenation

The rosette is large and needs regular replanting and rejuvenation. Approximately once a year in the period between flowering violets should be replanted:

1. The plant falls out of the pot;
2. Dry and depleted soil is carefully shaken off and replaced with new soil;
3. If the root system has grown too large and does not fit into the pot, it should be trimmed a little. You can remove between a third and half of the roots. First of all, diseased or rotten roots are cut off;
4. If a white coating has formed inside the pot, it should be removed. This can be done using a citric acid solution.
