The ancestral home of Saintpaulia is the mountainous regions of the eastern part of the African continent . Wild species of Uzambara violets can be seen along rivers, near waterfalls, in conditions of high humidity and mist.
Violet Evdokia has different flower colors.
After some time, the scientist Wenland studied and systematized the African violet. The botanist assigned them to a special genus , giving them a generic name in honor of the discoverer “Saintpaulia”. Below we will find out how the violet Evdokia (NiL and RM) blooms and develops.
Care techniques in indoor culture
Many violet growers willingly place K. Morev varieties in their collections, since his Saintpaulias for the most part are completely problem-free. Both varieties presented:
- Show an easy-going character;
- Without being capricious in the cultivation process;
- Carry over any proposed terms;
- Manifest early in terms of timing;
- And rapid flowering in volume.
To do this, they only need to be attentive to themselves and carefully implement simple agrotechnical techniques and procedures:
- Violets should be placed on a window facing west or east; specimens from a window to the north are shown additional rays with a diffuse spectrum, to the south - an artificial shadow is required;
- Water in small doses from the moment when slight drying of the upper volume of the substrate appears;
- Apply additional fertilizing with mineral fertilizers, focusing on the condition of the violet bushes;
- Provide light primarily during the day, long-lasting, with a spectrum of scattered rays;
- Control a constant heat level within +20 + 24°C; eliminate sudden fluctuations in the gradient;
- Plant in nutritious, permeable soil with good aeration; ensure the creation of a volumetric drainage layer;
- When transplanting , transshipment is often preferred if there are no special indications;
- Correct humidity indicators using any possible methods, avoiding only spraying the violets themselves.

History of creation
The world of flower growers learned about the existence of Saintpaulia at a flower exhibition held in Ghent in 1893.
It didn't take long for Uzambara violets to become a very popular indoor plant. Modern catalogs contain references to more than 30 thousand varieties of this plant.
Saintpaulia is very flexible, which allows you to develop more and more new varieties and varieties .
At the beginning of the 20th century, when breeding of Usambara violets was just beginning, their flowers were blue . Then varieties with white and purple flowers began to appear. After only 30 years of breeding, experts present varieties with double flowers. The selection of Saintpaulias is carried out not only according to the characteristics of the flowers; the shape and color of the foliage are very diverse.
The author of the RM Evdokia variety is Natalya Skornyakova, lives and creates new varieties in Kursk . The prefix RM in the names of her varieties are the initials of the breeder’s mother, to whom all of Natalia’s works are dedicated.

Violet RM-Evdokia has a very bright color of flowers.
Features of flowering, growth and reproduction
Easy to care for, blooms profusely and for a long time .
Caring for a plant at home
Conditions of detention
Proper watering and fertilizing
Watering is the most important activity. Incorrect, irregular, or excessive watering will lead to the death of the plant.
The water used to water violets must first be left standing for at least two days. Water temperature is room temperature or slightly higher (1-2 degrees)
For violets, two types of watering are used:
- Watering from above. Experienced violet lovers use a 20-50 ml medical bulb with a long spout. A syringe allows you to water plants in doses and in a controlled manner.
pros:
- We control the volume of liquid;
- Water passes through the entire volume of the pot, washing out decay products and reducing the risk of alkalization and rotting;
- When watering with a syringe, the soil is not washed away.
Minuses:
- You may not completely wet the earthen ball;
- With abundant watering, beneficial substances are washed out of the substrate.
- Irrigation by immersion . With this method of watering, pots with violets are immersed in a container of water to about 1/3 of the height.
It is not often that gardeners use watering violets by immersion in water.
pros:
- Water moves from bottom to top, nutrients are not washed away;
- The soil is not washed away;
- High-quality soil moisture.
Minuses:
- The volume of liquid entering the pot is not controlled;
- There is a risk of soil alkalization;
The dry surface of the substrate indicates that the plant needs to be watered. Excessive or frequent watering can cause rotting of the root system and acidification of the soil. How often to water and how much water depends on:
- Soil composition;
- Pot volume;
- Air humidity;
- The size and age of the plant and other factors.
Lighting and air temperature
In the hot season, diffused light is preferable , this happens on eastern and western windows. In winter, plants need bright sunlight coming from southern windows.
Basics of caring for night violets in the open ground
Vechernitsa is a universal flower that grows both on the balcony and in open ground. Growing in open ground requires the most trouble.
Lighting
Matthiola night violet - a flower with a wonderful smell
The plant is not picky. It is easy to plant and easy to care for. Depending on the variety, you must carefully select the planting site. In most cases, places with sufficient light are preferred for night violets. Some varieties prefer partial shade and thrive under tree canopies.
Important! When planting shrubs, you should avoid lowlands, since too high humidity and accumulated snow can cause disease and rot of the plant.
Watering
After planting, the night violet will require a special watering regime. You should not water the flower too often or too much. To avoid increased humidity around the flower, it is necessary to lay drainage. Watering is best done once a week in the morning. In case of increased dryness, you can increase the number of waterings to 2 times a week, since too dry soil can negatively affect flowering.
Priming
For planting, it is best to use slightly alkaline soil. After each watering, you should definitely loosen the soil, as the bush loves air.
Highly oxidized peat soil is absolutely contraindicated. Perennial shrubs will not survive in such soil. Vegetarian is picky when it comes to soil. The right choice will be the key to beautiful flowering.

Feeding
In order for the bush to grow healthy, it must be fed. For this, at the very beginning of the flowering period, complex mineral fertilizers are best suited. After flowering begins, it will be enough to add ash once a month. Thanks to this, the soil will become loose and allow enough oxygen to pass through. In addition, ash has excellent antiseptic properties.
In winter, the shrub can withstand temperatures down to -20 °C. Therefore, the flower does not require special care and shelter during the cold period. Frost resistance for gardeners is one of the main factors when choosing garden plants.
