Reviews
Anna Antonovna. “ The violet “Steppe Young Lady” has a completely unique flower color. Several shades are mixed so harmoniously into a large mix that it is impossible to tear yourself away from its contemplation.”
Violet Svetlana: reviews from gardeners
Elena Petrova: “I was given such a plant for my anniversary. I love this flower so much! I'm crazy about its beauty! If there are no rosettes, then the plant does not lose its attractiveness; the color of the emerald leaves with pinkish and snow-white patterns looks like inflorescences. When inflorescence, the buds are so large, my flowers look like a big bouquet! There is practically nothing specific in care. My violet Svetlana pleases my eyes for quite some time.”
Evgenia Verteva: “I was fascinated by the plant with its dimensions, the flowers are very large! And that's great! Inflorescences appear in the middle of the plant, let me tell you, gorgeous inflorescences! The leaves are wavy. It is easy to care for, but in hot areas it will not be easy for it; the color of the leaves changes to a solid green. Place it not so close to the light, maybe fifty centimeters, for example. I have the Svetlana violet on my shelves and it pleases me with its inflorescence.”
Violet RM-Cynthia
Delicate Saintpaulia Cynthia.
The touching white standard with pinkish shades and transitions began to be found in collections since 2016.
Demonstration of specific traits
Violet is a very disciplined plant:
- She herself tightly arranges mosaic patterns of leaves in tiers;
- It itself ultimately forms a magnificent, almost flat rosette, distinguished by: Compact structure configuration;
- And neat symmetry of the edge.
Bushes of this variety, as in the implementation of architectural projects, from the outside look like a clear graphic picture due to the alternation of all elements - leaves - in a mosaic technique.
The leaves are broadly oval in shape with a noticeably pointed tip and have:
- Large sizes;
- Active waviness of the configuration of the side edges;
- Clearly extruded venation graphics;
- Emphasized by a salad tone color;
- Quilted surface;
- Large - wavy, but neatly cut edge teeth;
- And the general tonality in the colors of lush summer foliage.
ATTENTION! The violet bush blooms with huge corollas of simple filling, having a “star” type texture and painted with a white color, which is noticeable only at the stage of bud opening. On the main background of the petals, shades of pink prints are very densely intertwined, onto which the lemon tone of the core is sprayed in the center of the corolla. This forms a spot of bright tonality in the center. A thin pink edging ribbon is visible along the edge of the petals. Each of the “star” petals visually forms a ray narrowed in the middle, ending in an expansion with a fringe.
The variety has large, wavy flowers.

Milana Andreevna. “ I realized that N. Skornyakova’s varieties, with rare exceptions, are distinguished by their simplicity in cultivation, independent “assembly” of rosettes and marvelous formats. Violet "Lydia" was no exception. I recommend it to everyone and - thanks to the master for the variety!”
Description of the variety Svetlana
Photos and descriptions of this violet can rarely be found on the Internet, since the variety is not yet widespread among collectors. The author of the Svetlana variety is breeder Elena Lebetskaya.

The leaves are dark green, with irregularly spaced pink and white leaves. The leaf petioles are long. The edge of the leaves has slightly pronounced teeth. The rosette variety is symmetrical and compact.
[adsp-pro-4]
The flowers of the variety are large, about 7 centimeters in diameter, double or semi-double. The flower petals are lilac, with thin, wavy petals. There are blurry white spots on the petals.

Violet RM-Taisia
A spectacular standard Saintpaulia with expressive prints was produced in 2013.
Unusual violet Taisiya.
Designation of decorative features
Violet RM-Taisia, a photo of which can be seen below, purposefully folds young leaves into:
- Ideal in configuration;
- And a dense rosette to fill the tiers.
Compact bushes with a neat structure rarely violate the boundaries of the typological dimensions of their subspecies.
The leaves are different:
- Small dimensions;
- Depressed venation graphics;
- The rich tonality of summer foliage;
- Smooth surface with shiny texture;
- And large, pointed teeth.
The contours of the leaves have some wavy edges.
The flowers are characterized by a large diameter , their format is “star” with a simple or semi-double filling of the volume with petals of a wavy texture. The edges of all petals are decorated with frequent and large-sized fringe.
The tonality of the corollas is expressed by a combination of the main white color with intense crimson prints , filling almost the entire surface of the flower, except for the white eye in the center and a thin braid along the edge.
ATTENTION! The effect is enhanced by the velvety texture of the petals.
The variety has bright crimson flowers.
Sports
The plant is seen infrequently sported. In sports crowns, the color of the prints floats over the entire surface.
When sport appears, violet flowers darken.
The originality of growing at home
Violet is not at all picky , but there are still some nuances in the process of its life. The variety develops steadily, blooms together, with many buds, and gradually increases the volume of the cap. From the first flowering, the violet has strong, durable flower stalks.
Flower growers need to carefully monitor the microclimate in their home collections, especially the temperature regime :
- With the proper temperature gradient, the corollas are colored as effectively as possible;
- In too hot conditions, the color fades and the corolla loses its characteristic star pattern in the center.
When the air temperature changes, the flowers change their color.
Reviews
Yan Filippovich. “ At exhibitions I always paid attention to orth , but I didn’t take the leaves - I thought that I couldn’t handle the prints and the violet would “float.” But still I couldn’t resist, now I have a gorgeous Taechka growing up - she doesn’t act up, she develops on her own and very harmoniously. I’m waiting for the first flowering, I hope it will be successful.”
Caring for a plant at home
When planting violets in a room and further caring for them, you need to pay attention to several conditions.
Conditions of detention
Before you buy a varietal violet, you need to create suitable conditions for its cultivation. This:
- Room temperature;
- Air humidity;
- Nice bright place;
- Or additional lighting.
IMPORTANT! In the absence of good conditions, the violet will begin to wither, bloom poorly, or even die.
Proper watering and fertilizing
To water violets, you need to use filtered water or water that has been standing for several days. The water temperature should be room temperature or slightly warmer.
Watering violets can be done in different ways :
- Top watering;
- Watering into the pan;
- Wick watering.
But you should not forget that the lump of earth must be completely moistened . If you use only bottom watering into the tray, the top layer of the substrate will always be dry and the roots located at the top of the pot will dry out.
It is necessary to water violets as the soil dries.
And have a negative impact on the well-being of the plant. Therefore, watering in the pan must be alternated with overhead watering.
ATTENTION! Fertilizers are applied along with watering once every two to three weeks.
You can use complex fertilizer for Saintpaulia , reducing the dose by three times with each watering.
Lighting and temperature
Violet loves bright lighting , it needs a lot of light, the abundance and frequency of flowering directly depends on this. The flowers of this variety do not fade in the sun, but retain their color.
The optimal temperature for growing RM-Eliza violets will be from +20 to +25 degrees:
- At temperatures below +18, the flower stops growing and developing buds;
- And if the temperatures are too high, the plant can dry out the emerging buds.
Therefore, it is important to maintain optimal room temperature.
IMPORTANT! You cannot water the violet with cold water! This causes brown spots to appear on the leaves, which greatly spoils the appearance of the rosette.
Air humidity
It is important that the air in the room is :
- Not dry;
- And not overly wet.
Otherwise, at high air temperatures and high humidity, the violet begins to develop vascular bacteriosis , and it can die in just a few hours.
Violet loves moist air.
If there is insufficient moisture, the plant :
- Stunts growth;
- And it can even dry out the buds.
What kind of soil does he prefer?
Soil from the garden is absolutely not suitable for violets. They require a special substrate:
- Store bought;
- Or cooked yourself.
A good substrate includes :
- High peat;
- Leavening agents : Perlite;
- Vermiculite;
- Foam balls.
Pruning and hygiene
When examining the plant you need to:
- Remove old, wilted leaves;
- And also regularly inspect the plant for the appearance of stepsons.
They must be removed so that the plant does not bend and does not waste energy on their growth . But to obtain a daughter rosette, several stepsons can be left, and after growing them, they can be separated from the mother bush.
Reproduction methods
Saintpaulia is best propagated by leaves.
The variety reproduces :
- Leaf cuttings;
- Stepsons.
To root a cutting:
- You can use water;
- Or you can immediately plant the leaf in nutritious soil, slightly moistening it.
One cutting can produce large offspring of up to 10 pieces .
Transplant rules, rejuvenation
to replant violets using the transshipment method , with partial replacement of the soil. An adult Saintpaulia is replanted after every second flowering, but at least once a year.
An old plant is rejuvenated by :
- Cutting off the rosette at the root;
- And rooting it in a new substrate.
At the same time all interfering lower leaves are removed and placed in a greenhouse for better rooting.
Violet RM-Sister Alyonushka
A marvelous variety of white varieties has represented the standards since 2015.
Angelic violet Sister Alyonushka.
Image of decorative features
Violets of optimal dimensions from the first day carefully and independently lay out leaf plates within the boundaries of the even contours of the rosettes , adhering to the principle of tiled laying accepted in architecture.
As a result, mature bushes of a compact configuration appear with a clearly calculated symmetry of the leaf pattern.
The oval texture of violet leaves with a noticeably pointed tip differs:
- Quilted surface with a fleecy texture;
- Clear graphics of pressed veins;
- Coarsely cut teeth along a wavy edge;
- And the bright colors of summer foliage.
The violet is especially valued due to the regal texture of the white flowers with a pinkish glow emanating from the center: the corollas are huge in size and the number of their petals corresponds to the dense version of the terry type and, due to the strong fringe of the petals, form lush, airy pompoms.
Sports
Violet is characterized by a lack of sports activity.
Sports are not found in this variety.
Specifics of room keeping
Violet blooms in large volumes and for a long time - unlike many varieties with white flowers, Saintpaulia corollas can remain fresh for quite a long time. The size of the flowers and their number surprise you from the first wave of budding.
IMPORTANT! Lush caps stand upright due to the efforts of strong but short peduncles.
The variety produces large white flowers.
Reviews
Vera Sergeevna. “I added the violet “Sister Alyonushka” to the collection - I’m not particularly fond of white varieties, but this violet “caught me” with its huge balls of flowers and pink radiance from the center. Now I recommend this variety to all my friends.”
Development at home
Having properly rooted stepchildren and leaf cuttings, growing a daughter rosette is not difficult. And with proper care, the grown flower will delight you with its lush first bloom.
For good growth, the variety requires proper care.
How long does it take to grow an adult plant?
This variety of violet grows quickly . Children willingly gain green mass. And after 8-9 months, the grown plant can please you with its first flowers.
How are varietal characteristics transmitted?
The variety is resistant to mutations, so varietal characteristics are most often completely transmitted and sports varieties are rare .
What do flower stalks look like?
Peduncles:
- Sturdy;
- Not very long;
- Flowers hold up well.
The Saintpaulia in question has strong peduncles.
Is it possible to achieve cap flowering?
With proper care, the RM-Eliza variety always blooms abundantly.
Bud lifespan
Violet blooms for a very long time . The flowering time of one bud is more than one month. Therefore, flowers blooming one after another create a dense cap of flowers that retain their freshness for a long time.

Reviews from flower growers
Flower growers note that the Svetlana violet has very beautiful leaves.
Svetlana. I received a sort right for my birthday. I'm delighted with this violet. Even without flowers, the rosette looks superb: dark green leaves with pink and white streaks look like flowers themselves. When delicate lilac flowers with white streaks bloom, the rosette is completely transformed.
Natalie. The size and shape of the Svetlana violet flowers are impressive. In the center of a variegated rosette, impressive flowers bloom with beautiful, wavy leaves. The variety is unpretentious, but does not tolerate heat and excessive light, and immediately loses its variegation. I advise you to keep it away from the lamps on the rack.
Is it possible to achieve cap flowering?
The very first flowering is usually not a cap; the young rosette produces only a few peduncles , on which several flowers are located.
Violet has cap flowering.
But an adult specimen, when it has gained the required amount of green mass, with good care, in the second flowering already pleases with a dense cap of snow-white flowers .
Important! Flowering is long and very frequent.
