watering

Water your Violet (Viola BONNIE LASSIES ISABELLA) about once a week, making sure to thoroughly soak the soil each time. Do not allow the soil to dry out completely between watering sessions, as this could be detrimental to the health of your plant. Additionally, it is important to water your Violet at the base and not from the top. If leaves become overly wet, this can lead to a variety of diseases; instead, use a pointed nozzle to directly water the soil. Lastly, ensure the water you use is room temperature or slightly warmer, as cold water can shock the Violet.

sunlight

The Violet (Viola bonnie lassies isabella) prefers full sunlight (at least 6 hours per day), particularly in the morning hours when the sun is not too strong. It thrives best when exposed to direct sunlight during the mid-morning hours and filtered sunlight during the afternoon, when the heat is at its strongest. If planted in an area with too much shade, the blooms will be small and the foliage sparse. On the other hand, if planted in an area with too much direct sunlight, the leaves may scorch, although this is relatively rare. Lastly, this variety prefers at least 2 hours of direct sunlight in the morning and then partial shade the rest of the day.

pruning

The pruning season for the Violet (Viola Bonnie Lassies Isabella) depends on the time of year when the plant is grown. If the Violet is grown during the cold winter months, then it should not be pruned at all. However, if the Violet is grown during the warmer months, then pruning can be done once the new growth begins to appear in the spring. For the best results, the Violet should be pruned back lightly in the spring, early summer and late summer. The goal of pruning is to promote new growth and encourage branching, so pruning should be done carefully to ensure that unwanted branches or any areas that may be congested with growth are removed as needed. Focus on removing only the most crowded branches and any that cross over each other. When pruning, it is important to use pruning shears that will provide a clean, even cut. This will help protect the plant from infection and ensure that no unnecessary damage is done. Additionally, it is best to keep the pruning cuts to around 1-fourth inch to avoid causing any further damage or stress to the Violet. Once all pruning is complete, it is beneficial to top-dress the soil around the Violet with aged compost or organic fertilizer to help promote healthy growth throughout the season.
