watering
Violet requires regular watering in order to stay healthy and look its best. The ideal amount of water for this plant species is about 1 inch per week. Water should be given when the soil is dry to the touch, but not bone dry. It is best to water in the morning or evening, as this will avoid having the hot afternoon sun cause the water to evaporate too quickly. Additionally, make sure the plant is given enough water that it can drip through the drainage holes in the pot. Overwatering can be harmful, so be sure to stop watering once the soil is adequately moist.
sunlight
Violet (Viola bonnie lassies sarah) needs 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day in order to thrive. This sunlight should ideally be spread out over the course of the day. Early morning sun is suggested, since it is less intense and it will help the violets to establish themselves. Late morning and early afternoon sun is then best to promote growth. Late afternoon sun should be avoided as it can cause the leaves to burn.
pruning
Violet (Viola BONNIE LASSIES SARAH) requires minimal pruning for optimal health. Depending on the size and age of the plant, an early spring pruning before the plant begins to actively grow is typically best. Pruning should be done with clean, sharp shears and be sure to remove any dead, diseased, or damaged stems. Prune to shape the plant and to remove any crowded or overlapping areas. Violets generally respond well to hard pruning, so do not be afraid to remove up to a third of the plant’s foliage. This will help to keep the plant neat and healthy. If the buds of your plant become unusually thick (which can be indicative of over-pruning), reduce the pruning activity.
