Violet SM-Nectarine
Beautiful violet Nectarine.
One of the seedlings of Konstantin Morev. It is distinguished by especially large flowers, up to 7 cm, the shape is quite unusual, semi-double or double. Usually has a pink-coral tint , which greatly depends on the conditions of detention, and more often it blooms simply pink.
The rosette is medium in size , and the leaves are quite large on medium-length cuttings. The shade of the sheets varies depending on conditions, but is usually dark green and uniform.
There cannot be official sports, since the seedling is not recognized as a variety . But among flower growers, SM-Nectarine has long been tested and is used relatively rarely, out of 10 seedlings there are only 1-2.
Violet SM-Viva La Vita is similar in color to this variety.
Features of care
The variety is not whimsical and does not require special care . It is enough to provide good lighting to obtain:
- Correct and rich color of flowers;
- And also a symmetrical, neat outlet.
Good feeding and timely watering gives a strong and well-formed bush (reacts well to wick watering).
Reproduction is carried out by all vegetative methods:
- Leaf cuttings take root well and produce several children at a time;
- Peduncles take root less well, but convey the unusual color of flowers well;
- It is rarely done, but this method brings the least number of sports.
Reviews
When propagated, the repetition is very good as for a seedling. Out of 10, only 2-3 of me do not replicate their mother’s characteristics.”
Maybe my conditions didn’t suit them, but none of them impressed me and didn’t even come close to expectations. To be sure, I let them bloom in the second round and gradually distributed everything.
SM-Nectarine is one of the disappointing ones. My flowers were small and the color was very ugly.”
Plant care
Violet does not require a lot of attention. You just have to follow the basic rules that your Highness the violet requires.
- The flower pot should be small, 5-7 cm in diameter, for young rosettes. For a large crown, 12 cm is suitable.
- A new pot should be doused with boiling water and vinegar, which will help avoid troubles in the future.
- The larger the pot, the more expanded clay or other drainage required.
- The soil needs to be loose and well permeable to water. There are various fertilizer admixtures. You can buy a ready-made earthen mixture for violets.
- Feeding is carried out annually, in spring or summer. The plant can be fed with mullein, bird droppings with vitriol, or a ready-made organic mixture.
- Watering is carried out regularly and moderately. The soil should be slightly moist. Excess moisture or drying out leads to disease and death of the flower.
- Violets love showers. The ground is covered during the procedure, and excess moisture is removed from the leaves using a paper napkin.
Violets, as a rule, delight with abundant blooms all year round. Experts say that plants need rest. Preferably in winter. To do this, cut off the flower stalks within 3 months.
A magnificent flower needs lighting, but does not tolerate exposure to direct sunlight and drafts.

Violet propagation
Reproduction is best done in the spring during the active growing season.
Violet Your Majesty reproduces easily, in several ways:
- leaves;
- seeds;
- children;
- stepchildren.
The simplest and most common methods include propagation by leaves and stepsons.
Select healthy leaves and place them in a small container of water. The leaf is immersed in water no more than 1 cm. This level must be maintained until rooting. It is recommended to add activated carbon to the container.
After 30-40 days, the cuttings should produce roots. After this, the leaves are transplanted into a small pot. It is better to secure the leaf with a stick and cover it with polyethylene. After 2 weeks, the cover is removed - and in front of you is an independent flower.
Often several root rosettes form in one pot. When replanting plants, they should be separated. An independent flower is formed from each individual rosette.
Violet SM-Motley Rhapsody
Charming Saintpaulia Motley Rhapsody.
Quite an unusual Saintpaulia , one of the many beautiful seedlings of Morev. Socket:
- Beautiful;
- Flat;
- Symmetrical;
- Well formed.

- Or vice versa, quite wide and bright.
The flowers are simple, medium-sized, pansy-shaped . The main shade of the flower is white, there is a spot on each petal, it is darker on the lower (larger) petals, and pale, sometimes almost invisible, on the upper two petals. The wavy edge of the flower gives the seedling a special charm and adds tenderness.
Features of care
All features in caring for SM-Motley Rhapsody are related to the color of the leaves and flowers:
- For beautiful leaf variegation, it is important to give the plant enough nutrients, as well as observe the light and temperature conditions. The lighting should be a little more subdued than for other varieties of Saintpaulia, and the temperature should be 2-3 ° lower;
- White flowers with imprints on the petals tend to float or, on the contrary, fade, this is due to temperature conditions. The higher the tempera, the larger the size and richer the color of the spots, and the lower, the paler and smaller the prints.
Diseases of flowers
Violets are quite resistant to various diseases.
If the leaves of the plant become limp and dull, you need to carefully examine the flower. In particular, the root system. Rotten roots are immediately removed, and the root is completely washed with a weak vinegar solution. Rinse the pot thoroughly and transplant the reanimated violet into fresh soil.
The presence of brown spots on the foliage indicates that the flower has been exposed to sunlight for a long time. Your Highness, the photo below clearly shows violet diseases.
The plant must be moved to a dark place. Dull leaves will regain their natural color. Injured leaves can be gradually removed.
Pruning violets
Pruning is necessary for the plant. It is usually done in the spring, in the following cases:
- for rejuvenation, thus stimulating the formation of the root system;
- for abundant flowering;
- when old leaves die.
