watering
Violets (Viola grypoceras var. exilis 'Sylettas') should have moist soil so they need enough water. It is best to water them in the morning so the foliage can dry out by the evening, to minimize the possibility of spreading fungal diseases. When watering, use a watering can with a narrow spout to target the soil with little to no splashing against the leaves. Do not let the plants sit in water or become overly saturated. It is better to water deeply and less often than lightly and more frequently. You should water your violets about once a week, allowing the top 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) of soil to dry between waterings. You should make sure to provide good drainage to avoid waterlogging and root rot.
sunlight
Violet (Viola grypoceras var. exilis 'Sylettas') is a flowering plant that thrives in full sun. It prefers at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. To ensure maximum sunlight exposure, this plant should be planted in an area that receives direct sunlight throughout the day. In addition, this plant should not be planted in areas that receive too much shade or its blooms may not come out as strong. The best time to expose your violet to sunlight is from when the sun rises until around mid-afternoon. This is the ideal time to maximize your plant’s exposure to direct sunlight.
pruning
For Violet (Viola grypoceras var. exilis 'Sylettas'), it is recommended to lightly prune in mid-summer, once or twice a year. This will help to keep the plant and promote more flowering and vigour. Lightly pinch or trim each stem after flowering and also trim off any dead or decaying stems and dead blooms. To encourage unrestricted growth, cut away any snarls or crossed vines which can stunt a plant’s growth. Pruning at this time will help give the Violet plant a strong annual pruning and help it reach its full potential.
