what are violets

Violets are perennial flowering plants that can grow both in pots and in the ground. Violets  are very decorative and do not require much care  , so much so that they can withstand even very harsh temperatures. However, they may not bloom as we would like.

To overcome this problem, below we will show you a trick that promises great flowers for your plant.

How to make them bloom

The secret ingredient you’ll need is used consistently in every kitchen. They are eggs that, after being used for your homemade preparations, can be used again. In fact, to make your violets bloom, you will need  eggshells.

First, you’ll want to avoid throwing them away, run them under running water and then let them dry in the sun if possible. Alternatively, you can put them on a tray and put them in the oven for a quarter of an hour at 150 degrees. Once the eggshells are dry, you will need to crumble them. To do this, you can use your hands or the back of a spoon. The operation will have to be simple since the egg shells will have to be passed through the mixer.

The peel powder thus obtained will be used for your violets.  It will be an extremely beneficial compound because it has a high calcium content, essential for the development of plants.

However, before putting it on your violas, a little maintenance will be necessary. Specifically, you will need to cut off all dried flowers and dried leaves. This happens often, especially after the plant has flowered. Only then will the violets be able to bloom again. If dried flowers and leaves remain on the plant for too long, they could prevent new shoots from growing. The same goes for dried leaves. Leave the leaves small and new so they can sprout faster.

Before placing the eggshells in the soil, the latter will need to be stirred a little. It can be done with the help of a spatula or, if it is a small vase, with kitchen scissors. However, it must be said that the vases must be changed frequently.

With the help of a spoon, pour the eggshell powder obtained earlier  from above.  It should cover all the soil near the roots of the plant. You can also loosen the soil so that the dust reaches the bottom.

The next step is to give the plant water. This operation must be repeated every night, to guarantee the plant the calcium supply it needs. After a few weeks, you will see your violet bloom like never before.
